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.
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.
