Glory to God for His Grace

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has aenabled me, bbecause He counted me faithful, cputting me into the ministry,  
13 although aI was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an1 insolent man; but I obtained mercy because bI did it ignorantly in unbelief.  
14 aAnd the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, bwith faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.  
15 aThis is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that bChrist Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

1 Timothy 1:13

I Timothy 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious. Paul never could forget his old life, before he was converted. But I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief. The reason is that he was honest, sincere in his opposition, being an unbeliever, and acting ignorantly. Had he been a willful sinner, he would never have been chosen.
