WPNT(i)
13 I, who was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did it in unbelief;
14 the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief;
16 precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life.
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
18 Son Timothy, I am giving you this charge in accordance with the prophecies about you that lead the way, that in them you may wage the good warfare,
19 holding on to faith and a good conscience (which some having rejected have suffered shipwreck concerning the faith;
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander—whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be taught not to blaspheme).
