nasb 1Timothy:1:12-20
nasb@1Timothy:1:12 @I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,
nasb@1Timothy:1:13 @even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
nasb@1Timothy:1:14 @and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.
nasb@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
nasb@1Timothy:1:16 @Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
nasb@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
nasb@1Timothy:1:18 @This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight,
nasb@1Timothy:1:19 @keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.
nasb@1Timothy:1:20 @Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.
