1 Timothy 1:13-15

13 the [one] who before was a blasphemer and a persecutor and insolent. But I obtained mercy, because being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief.

14 [And] the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

15 Faithful [is] the Word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
