¹² I give thanks to Him Who has granted me strength and made me able , Christ Jesus our Lord, because He has judged and counted me faithful and trustworthy, appointing me to the ministry. ¹³ Though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and was shamefully and outrageously and aggressively insulting , nevertheless, I obtained mercy because I had acted out of ignorance in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace (unmerited favor and blessing) of our Lord flowed out superabundantly and beyond measure for me, accompanied by faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ The saying is sure and true and worthy of full and universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus (the Messiah) came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost. ¹⁶ But I obtained mercy for the reason that in me, as the foremost , Jesus Christ might show forth and display all His perfect long-suffering and patience for an example to those who would thereafter believe on Him for eternal life. ¹⁷ Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible and immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever (to the ages of ages). Amen (so be it).
