1 Timothy 1:12-20 — The Lord's Grace to Paul

1Tim.1.12-20

¹²I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he considered me faithful, appointing me to service, ¹³though formerly I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an arrogant and violent man. But I was shown mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, ¹⁴and the grace of our Lord overflowed beyond measure, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost. ¹⁶But for this reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display his complete patience as a pattern for those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. ¹⁷Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God , be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. ¹⁸This charge I entrust to you, child Timothy, in keeping with the prophecies previously made about you, so that by them you may wage the good warfare, ¹⁹holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting these, some have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith; ²⁰among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan so that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
