1 Timothy 1:12-14 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service. ¹³ I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man; yet because I had acted in ignorance and unbelief, I was shown mercy. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
