12
I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, appointing me to the ministry-
1 Timothy 1:12 In-Context
10
for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
11
that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
12
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.
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
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
