1 Timothy 1:13-15
New Testament for Everyone
13 even though I used to say blasphemous things against him, and persecuted his people violently!

1 Timothy 1:13-15
New International Version
13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor(A) and a violent man, I was shown mercy(B) because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.(C) 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly,(D) along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.(E)
15 Here is a trustworthy saying(F) that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners(G)—of whom I am the worst.
