TIMOTHY, my son, I thank him who has given me strength for this, Christ
Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful by appointing me to his
service, though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but
I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and
the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that
are in Christ Jesus. The saying is sure and worthy of full
acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am
the foremost of sinners; but I received mercy for this reason, that
in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect
patience for an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal
life. To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor
and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
