The King James Version Bible

1 Timothy 1:12-15

  1. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

  2. Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

  3. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

  4. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
