I thank ^(am)Christ Jesus our Lord, who has ^(an)strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, ^(ao)putting me into service,

even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a ^(ap)persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was ^(aq)shown mercy because ^(ar)I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

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

^(au)It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that ^(av)Christ Jesus came into the world to ^(aw)save sinners, among whom ^(ax)I am foremost of all.

Yet for this reason I ^(ay)found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might ^(az)demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those ^[l]who would believe in Him for eternal life.
