MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief: ¹⁴ Neverthelater, the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ for this cause was mercy given unto me, that Jesus Christ should first show on me all long patience, unto the example of them which shall, in time to come, believe on him unto eternal life. ¹⁷ So then unto God, King everlasting, immortal, invisible, and wise only, be honour and praise for ever and ever. Amen. ¹⁸ This commandment commit I unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which in time past were prophesied of thee, that thou in them shouldest fight a good fight, ¹⁹ having faith and good conscience, which some have put away from them, and as concerning faith have made shipwreck. ²⁰ Of whose number is Hymenaeus, and Alexander, which I have delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
