1 Timothy 1:13-16
New King James Version
13 although (A)I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an [a]insolent man; but I obtained mercy because (B)I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 (C)And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, (D)with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 (E)This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that (F)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.

15 Here is a trustworthy saying(F) that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners(G)—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy(H) so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience(I) as an example for those who would believe(J) in him and receive eternal life.(K)
