The Lord’s Grace to Paul
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.
-
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
-
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
-
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
-
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
-
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
-
who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
-
Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

-
who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.
