1 Timothy 1:12-17
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
I Thank The Lord Jesus For Showing Mercy To Me And Appointing Me To Serve Him
12 I have gratitude to Christ Jesus our Lord, the One having strengthened me, because He regarded me trustworthy[a], having appointed me for service— 13 I formerly being a blasphemous one and a persecutor and violent[b] one! But I was shown-mercy because being ignorant, I acted in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 The saying is trustworthy and worthy of full acceptance— that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost[c]. 16 But for this reason I was shown-mercy: in order that in me, the foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate[d] all patience, for a pattern for the ones going to put-faith upon Him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King of the ages[e], to the immortal invisible only God, be honor and glory forever and ever, amen.
