Luke 7:47

47Therefore I tell you, her sins, awhich are many, are forgivenfor she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”

1 Corinthians 15:9-10

9For bI am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because cI persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, dI worked harder than any of them, ethough it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

14For the love of Christ fcontrols us, because we have concluded this: that gone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15and he died for all, hthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but ifor him who for their sake died and was raised.

1 Timothy 1:13-16

13though formerly I was a blasphemer, jpersecutor, and insolent opponent. But kI received mercy lbecause I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14and mthe grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the nfaith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15The saying is otrustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus pcame into the world to save sinners, qof 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.
