1 Timothy 1:13-15

21st Century King James Version

¹³ I, who was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love, which are in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
