1 Timothy 1:16-20

English Standard Version

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 ^(A)the King of the ages, ^(B)immortal, ^(C)invisible, ^(D)the only God, ^(E)be honor and glory forever and ever.^[a] Amen.

¹⁸ This charge ^(F)I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with ^(G)the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may ^(H)wage the good warfare, ^19 (I)holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have ^(J)made shipwreck of their faith, ²⁰ among whom are ^(K)Hymenaeus and ^(L)Alexander, whom I ^(M)have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to ^(N)blaspheme.
