1 Timothy 1:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 When before I was a [a]blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor: but I was received to mercy: for I did it ignorantly through unbelief.
14 But the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant [b]with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
15 [c]This is a [d]true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that (A)Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor(A) and a violent man, I was shown mercy(B) because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.(C) 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly,(D) along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.(E)
15 Here is a trustworthy saying(F) that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners(G)—of whom I am the worst.
