1 Corinthians 15:10

The Light of the Gospel

1 Therefore, having ^cthis ministry ^dby the mercy of God, ^{▼▼Greek as we have received mercy} we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced ^fdisgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice ^{▼▼Greek to walk in} cunning or ^hto tamper with God’s word, but ⁱby the open statement of the truth ^jwe would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

1 Timothy 1:12-16

Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners

12 I thank him ^kwho has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, ^lappointing me to his service, 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, ^mpersecutor, and insolent opponent. But ⁿI received mercy ^obecause I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and ^pthe grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the ^qfaith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 The saying is ^rtrustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus ^scame into the world to save sinners, ^tof whom I am the foremost. 16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
