12 I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
