1 Timothy 1:6-17

6SomeG5100 peopleG5100 have strayedG795 from theseG3739 thingsG3739 and have turnedG1624 asideG1624 to 1fruitlessG3150 discussionG3150, 72wantingG2309 to be 3teachersG3547 ofG3547 theG3547 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 8worldlyG952, for thoseG3970 whoG3970 killG3970G3389 their fathersG3970 orG2532 mothersG3389, for murderersG409, 10for the 910sexuallyG4205 immoralG4205, 11homosexualsG733, 1213slaveG405 tradersG405, 14liarsG5583, 15perjurersG1965, and whateverG1487G5100 elseG2087 is contraryG480 to 16soundG5198 teachingG1319, 11accordingG2596 to 17the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of 18the blessedG3107 GodG2316, with whichG3739 I have been 19entrustedG4100.

12I thankG5485 20ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, who has 21strengthenedG1743 me, becauseG3754 He consideredG2233 me faithfulG4103, 22puttingG5087 me into serviceG1248, 13even though I was previouslyG4387 a blasphemerG989 and a 23persecutorG1376 and a violentG5197 aggressorG5197. YetG235 I was 24shownG1653 mercyG1653 becauseG3754 25I actedG4160 ignorantlyG50 in unbeliefG570; 14and the 26graceG5485 of our LordG2962 was moreG5250 thanG5250 abundantG5250, with the 27faithG4102 and loveG26 which are found in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 1528It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056, deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594, that 29ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the worldG2889 to 30saveG4982 sinnersG268, among whomG3739 31I amG1510 foremostG4413. 16YetG235 for thisG3778 reasonG1223 I 32foundG1653 mercyG1653, soG2443 thatG2443 in me as the foremostG4413 sinner JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might 33demonstrateG1731 His perfectG537 patienceG3115 as an exampleG5296 for thoseG3588 34who wouldG3195 believeG4100 in Him for eternalG166 lifeG2222. 17NowG1161 to the 35KingG935 36eternalG165, 37immortalG862, 38invisibleG517, the 39onlyG3441 GodG2316, 40be honorG5092 and gloryG1391 41foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
