1 Timothy 1:12-15

Whiston(i) 12 And I thank him who hath enabled me by Christ Jesus our Lord: for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and injurious. But I obtained mercy, for this cause, that I did [it] ignorantly, in unbelief: 14 But the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15 This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
