1 Timothy 1:6-17

6For someG5100 menG5100, strayingG795 from theseG3739 thingsG3739, have turnedG1624 asideG1624 to 1fruitlessG3150 discussionG3150, 72wantingG2309 to be 3teachersG3547 of the LawG3547, even though they do not understandG3539 eitherG3383 whatG3739 they are sayingG3004 orG3383 the matters aboutG4012 whichG5101 they makeG1226 confidentG1226 assertionsG1226.

8But we knowG3609 that 4the LawG3551 is goodG2570, ifG1437 oneG5100 usesG5530 it lawfullyG3545, 9realizingG3609 the factG3778 that 5lawG3551 is not madeG2749 for a righteousG1342 personG1342, but for those who are lawlessG459 and 6rebelliousG506, for the 7ungodlyG765 and sinnersG268, for the unholyG462 and 8profaneG952, for those who killG3970G3389 their fathersG3970 orG2532 mothersG3389, for murderersG409 109and 1011immoralG4205 menG4205 12and 13homosexualsG733 14and 15kidnappersG405 16and 17liarsG5583 18and 19perjurersG1965, and whateverG1487G5100 elseG2087 is contraryG480 to 20soundG5198 teachingG1319, 11accordingG2596 to 21the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of 22the blessedG3107 GodG2316, with whichG3739 I have been 23entrustedG4100.

12I thankG5485 24ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, who has 25strengthenedG1743 me, becauseG3754 He consideredG2233 me faithfulG4103, 26puttingG5087 me into serviceG1248, 13even though I was formerlyG4387 a blasphemerG989 and a 27persecutorG1376 and a violentG5197 aggressorG5197. YetG235 I was 28shownG1653 mercyG1653 becauseG3754 29I actedG4160 ignorantlyG50 in unbeliefG570; 14and the 30graceG5485 of our LordG2962 was moreG5250 thanG5250 abundantG5250, with the 31faithG4102 and loveG26 which are found in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 1532It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056, deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594, that 33ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the worldG2889 to 34saveG4982 sinnersG268, among whomG3739 35I amG1510 foremostG4413 of all. 16YetG235 for thisG3778 reasonG1223 I 36foundG1653 mercyG1653, soG2443 that in me as the foremostG4413, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might 37demonstrateG1731 His perfectG537 patienceG3115 as an exampleG5296 for thoseG3588 38who wouldG3195 believeG4100 in Him for eternalG166 lifeG2222. 17NowG1161 to the 39KingG935 40eternalG165, 41immortalG862, 42invisibleG517, the 43onlyG3441 GodG2316, 44be honorG5092 and gloryG1391 45foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
