1 Timothy 1:12-20
AND I THANK CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD,
WHO HATH ENABLED ME,
FOR HE COUNTED ME FAITHFUL,
PUTTING ME INTO THE MINISTRY;
WHO WAS BEFORE A BLASPHEMER,
AND A PERSECUTOR, AND INJURIOUS:
BUT I OBTAINED MERCY,
BECAUSE I DID IT
IGNORANTLY IN UNBELIEF.
AND
THE GRACE
OF OUR LORD WAS
EXCEEDING ABUNDANT
WITH
FAITH AND LOVE
WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS.
THIS IS A FAITHFUL SAYING,
AND
WORTHY OF ALL ACCEPTATION,
THAT CHRIST JESUS
CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS;
OF WHOM I AM CHIEF.
HOWBEIT FOR THIS CAUSE I OBTAINED MERCY,
THAT IN ME FIRST
JESUS CHRIST
MIGHT SHEW FORTH ALL LONGSUFFERING,
FOR A PATTERN
TO THEM WHICH SHOULD
HEREAFTER BELIEVE ON HIM
TO LIFE EVERLASTING.
NOW UNTO
THE KING ETERNAL,
IMMORTAL,
INVISIBLE,
THE ONLY WISE GOD,
BE HONOUR AND GLORY
FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN.
THIS CHARGE I COMMIT UNTO THEE,
SON TIMOTHY,
ACCORDING TO THE PROPHECIES
WHICH WENT BEFORE ON THEE,
THAT THOU BY THEM
MIGHTEST
WAR A GOOD WARFARE;
HOLDING FAITH,
AND
A GOOD CONSCIENCE,
WHICH SOME HAVING PUT AWAY
CONCERNING FAITH
HAVE MADE SHIPWRECK:
OF WHOM IS HYMENAEUS AND ALEXANDER;
WHOM I HAVE DELIVERED UNTO SATAN,
THAT THEY MAY
LEARN NOT TO BLASPHEME.
LOVE
