Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves
full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners--of whom I am the
worst. But for that very reason I was shown
mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners,
Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience
as an example for those who would believe on him
and receive eternal life.
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God,
be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen
1 Timothy 1:15-17
