1 Timothy 1:12-16

12I thankG5485 1ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, who has 2strengthenedG1743 me, becauseG3754 He consideredG2233 me faithfulG4103, 3puttingG5087 me into serviceG1248,

13even though I was previouslyG4387 a blasphemerG989 and a 4persecutorG1376 and a violentG5197 aggressorG5197. YetG235 I was 5shownG1653 mercyG1653 becauseG3754 6I actedG4160 ignorantlyG50 in unbeliefG570;

14and the 7graceG5485 of our LordG2962 was moreG5250 thanG5250 abundantG5250, with the 8faithG4102 and loveG26 which are found in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

15 9It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056, deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594, that 10ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the worldG2889 to 11saveG4982 sinnersG268, among whomG3739 12I amG1510 foremostG4413.

16YetG235 for thisG3778 reasonG1223 I 13foundG1653 mercyG1653, soG2443 thatG2443 in me as the foremostG4413 sinner JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might 14demonstrateG1731 His perfectG537 patienceG3115 as an exampleG5296 for thoseG3588 15who wouldG3195 believeG4100 in Him for eternalG166 lifeG2222.
