1 Timothy 1:14-16

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

15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.
