1 Timothy 1:6-17

6For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to 1fruitless discussion, 72wanting to be 3teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

8But we know that 4the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9realizing the fact that 5law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and 6rebellious, for the 7ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and 8profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 109and 1011immoral men 12and 13homosexuals 14and 15kidnappers 16and 17liars 18and 19perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to 20sound teaching, 11according to 21the glorious gospel of 22the blessed God, with which I have been 23entrusted.

12I thank 24Christ Jesus our Lord, who has 25strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, 26putting me into service, 13even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a 27persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was 28shown mercy because 29I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14and the 30grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the 31faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 1532It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that 33Christ Jesus came into the world to 34save sinners, among whom 35I am foremost of all. 16Yet for this reason I 36found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might 37demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those 38who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17Now to the 39King 40eternal, 41immortal, 42invisible, the 43only God, 44be honor and glory 45forever and ever. Amen.
