The Lord's Grace to Paul

12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength,¹ that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.² 13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor³ and a violent man, I was shown mercy⁴ because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.⁵ 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly,⁶ along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.⁷ 15 Here is a trustworthy saying⁸ that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners⁹--of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy¹⁰ so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience¹¹ as an example for those who would believe¹² on him and receive eternal life.¹³ 17 Now to the King¹⁴ eternal, immortal,¹⁵ invisible,¹⁶ the only God,¹⁷ be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.¹⁸
