1 Timothy 1:14-16

14and athe grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the bfaith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15The saying is ctrustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus dcame into the world to save sinners, eof whom I am the foremost. 16But 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.

1 Peter 2:9

9But you are fa chosen race, ga royal hpriesthood, ia holy nation, ja people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you kout of darkness into lhis marvelous light.

1 Peter 4:11

11whoever speaks, as one who speaks moracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves nby the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything oGod may be glorified through Jesus Christ. pTo him belong glory and qdominion forever and ever. Amen.
