1 Timothy 1:13-15

13 There was a time when I did not respect him. I troubled his people. I said wrong things about him. But he was very kind to me, because I did not know what I was doing and I did not believe in him.

14 Our Lord showed me much love and kindness. I believed in him and had the love which comes from Christ Jesus.

15 These are true words and everyone should believe them. Christ Jesus came into the world to save bad people. And I am the worst of all.
