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.  
16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.
17 Now to athe King eternal, bimmortal, cinvisible, to God dwho alone is wise, ebe honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

1 Timothy 1:13

A blasphemer - Of Christ. A persecutor - Of his church. A reviler - Of his doctrine and people. But I obtained mercy - He does not say, because I was unconditionally elected; but because I did it in ignorance. Not that his ignorance took away his sin; but it left him capable of mercy; which he would hardly have been, had he acted thus contrary to his own conviction.
