1 Timothy 1:12, 16-17

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service

Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
