[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.
