Compare all
9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is1 contrary to sound doctrine,  
11 according to the glorious gospel of the ablessed God which was bcommitted to my trust.  

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.

1 Timothy 1:11

According to the glorious Gospel - The sound doctrine mentioned above, which is here called , the Gospel of the glory of the blessed or happy God - a dispensation which exhibits the glory of all his attributes; and, by saving man in such a way as is consistent with the glory of all the Divine perfections, while it brings peace and good will among men, brings glory to God in the highest. Sin has dishonored God, and robbed him of his glory; the Gospel provides for the total destruction of sin, even in this world, and thus brings back to God his glory.
