12
And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus, our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
13
although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15
The saying is faithful, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
