1 Timothy 1:13-16
English Standard Version
13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, (A)persecutor, and insolent opponent. But (B)I received mercy (C)because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and (D)the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the (E)faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 The saying is (F)trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus (G)came into the world to save sinners, (H)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.

1 John 4:9-14
English Standard Version
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that (A)God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, (B)not that we have loved God (C)but that he loved us and sent his Son to be (D)the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 (E)No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and (F)his love is perfected in us.
13 (G)By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And (H)we have seen and testify that (I)the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of (J)the world.
