[12] I thank Christ Jesus Lord, who hath enabled for that he counted faithful, putting me into the ministry; [13] Who before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. [14] And the grace 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. [16] Howbeit cause I obtained mercy, that in first Jesus Christ might shew forth longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. [17] Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever Amen. [18] charge I commit son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on that by them mightest war a good warfare; [19] Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: [20] Of whom Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
