The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
12 gratias ago ei qui me confortavit Christo Iesu Domino nostro quia fidelem me existimavit ponens in ministerio
12
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.
13 qui prius fui blasphemus et persecutor et contumeliosus sed misericordiam consecutus sum quia ignorans feci in incredulitate
13
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
14 superabundavit autem gratia Domini nostri cum fide et dilectione quae est in Christo Iesu
14
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 fidelis sermo et omni acceptione dignus quia Christus Iesus venit in mundum peccatores salvos facere quorum primus ego sum
15
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
16 sed ideo misericordiam consecutus sum ut in me primo ostenderet Christus Iesus omnem patientiam ad deformationem eorum qui credituri sunt illi in vitam aeternam
16
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
17 regi autem saeculorum inmortali invisibili soli Deo honor et gloria in saecula saeculorum amen
17
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
