Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² I render thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has made me able for this; he considered me trustworthy and appointed me to the ministry, ¹³ though I had formerly been a blasphemer and a persecutor and a wanton aggressor. I obtained mercy because in my unbelief I had acted out of ignorance; ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord flooded my life along with the faith and love that Christ Jesus inspires.
