1 Timothy 1:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Gratitude for Mercy

¹² I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he considered me faithful and appointed me to his service,^{(A) 13} even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,^{(B) 14} and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me^[a] with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.^(C)
