1 Timothy 1:14-17

English Standard Version

¹⁴ and ^(A)the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the ^(B)faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ The saying is ^(C)trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus ^(D)came into the world to save sinners, ^(E)of whom I am the foremost. ¹⁶ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. ¹⁷ To ^(F)the King of the ages, ^(G)immortal, ^(H)invisible, ^(I)the only God, ^(J)be honor and glory forever and ever.^[a] Amen.
