1 Timothy 1:12-15 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, in that he accounted me faithful,

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, in that he accounted me faithful, ¹³ having put me into the ministry, Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our 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 the chief.
