1 Timothy 1:11-13

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹¹ The wonderful good news of God teaches what is right. Praise him! And he has trusted me to tell this good news.

¹² I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me power to tell the good news. I thank him because he believed he could trust me, and he chose me for this work.

¹³ There was a time when I did not respect him. I troubled his people. I said wrong things about him. But he was very kind to me, because I did not know what I was doing and I did not believe in him.
