1 Timothy 1:11-14

MSB(i) 11 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service. 13 I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man; yet because I had acted in ignorance and unbelief, I was shown mercy. 14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
