1 Timothy 1:13-16

13even though I was formerlyG4387 a blasphemerG989 and a 1persecutorG1376 and a violentG5197 aggressorG5197. YetG235 I was 2shownG1653 mercyG1653 becauseG3754 3I actedG4160 ignorantlyG50 in unbeliefG570;

14and the 4graceG5485 of our LordG2962 was moreG5250 thanG5250 abundantG5250, with the 5faithG4102 and loveG26 which are found in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

15 6It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056, deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594, that 7ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the worldG2889 to 8saveG4982 sinnersG268, among whomG3739 9I amG1510 foremostG4413 of all.

16YetG235 for thisG3778 reasonG1223 I 10foundG1653 mercyG1653, soG2443 that in me as the foremostG4413, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might 11demonstrateG1731 His perfectG537 patienceG3115 as an exampleG5296 for thoseG3588 12who wouldG3195 believeG4100 in Him for eternalG166 lifeG2222.
