1Timothy:1:12-20
lont@1Timothy:1:12 @ Now, I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has qualified me, that he reckoned me faithful, appointing me to the ministry,
lont@1Timothy:1:13 @ who was formerly a defamer, and a persecutor, and an injurious person. But I received mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
lont@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the favor of the Lord has superabounded, with the faith and love which is by Christ Jesus.
lont@1Timothy:1:15 @ This saying is true, and worthy of all reception, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
lont@1Timothy:1:16 @ However, for this cause I received mercy, that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should believe on him, in order to everlasting life.
lont@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God alone, be honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
lont@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before you, concerning you, that we may carry on, through them, the good warfare;
lont@1Timothy:1:19 @ holding fast faith and a good conscience; which some have put away, with respect to the faith, having made shipwreck:
lont@1Timothy:1:20 @ of whom are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to the adversary, that they might be taught by chastisement not to blaspheme.
