1 Timothy 1:12-14

Contemporary English Version

Being Thankful for God's Kindness

¹² I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me the strength for my work because he knew he could trust me. ^13 (A) I used to say terrible and insulting things about him, and I was cruel. But Christ had mercy on me because I didn't know what I was doing, and I had not yet put my faith in him. ¹⁴ Christ Jesus our Lord treated me with undeserved grace and has greatly blessed my life with faith and love just like his own.
