1 Timothy 1:14-16

New King James Version

^14 (A)And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, ^(B)with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ^15 (C)This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that ^(D)Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.
