1 Timothy 1:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;

¹³ Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

¹⁴ Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
