1 Timothy 1:12-14 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, for he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, for he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; ¹³ Though I was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a violent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me, along with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
