according to ^(C1)the glorious gospel of ^(C2)the blessed God, with which I have been ^(C3)entrusted.

I thank ^(C1)Christ Jesus our Lord, who has ^(C2)strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, ^(C3)putting me into service,

even though I was previously a blasphemer and a ^(C1)persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was ^(C2)shown mercy because ^(C3)I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

and the ^(C1)grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the ^(C2)faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

^(C1)It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that ^(C2)Christ Jesus came into the world to ^(C3)save sinners, among whom ^(C4)I am foremost.

Yet for this reason I ^(C1)found mercy, so that in me as the foremost sinner Jesus Christ might ^(C2)demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those ^(F1)who would believe in Him for eternal life.

Now to the ^(C1)King ^(F1)eternal, ^(C2)immortal, ^(C3)invisible, the ^(C4)only God, ^(C5)be honor and glory ^(F2)forever and ever. Amen.
