1 Timothy 1:12-20

Title:

Paul's thankfulness for mercy

King James Scripture:

12 ¶ And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that  he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a  blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did  [it] ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant  with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15 This [is] a faithful saying,  and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save  sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in  me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them  which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17 Now unto the King  eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever  and ever. Amen.

 18 ¶ This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the  prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good  warfare; 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away  concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander;  whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Hebrew/Greek Scripture:

12 Χάριν ἔχω τῷ ἐνδυναμώσαντί με Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν, ὅτι πιστόν με ἡγήσατο θέμενος εἰς διακονίαν, 13 τὸ πρότερον ὄντα βλάσφημον καὶ διώκτην καὶ ὑβριστήν· ἀλλὰ ἠλεήθην, ὅτι ἀγνοῶν ἐποίησα ἐν ἀπιστίᾳ, 14 ὑπερεπλεόνασεν δὲ ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν μετὰ πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. 15 πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος, ὅτι Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἁμαρτωλοὺς σῶσαι· ὧν πρῶτός εἰμι ἐγώ, 16 ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο ἠλεήθην, ἵνα ἐν ἐμοὶ πρώτῳ ἐνδείξηται Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς τὴν ἅπασαν μακροθυμίαν, πρὸς ὑποτύπωσιν τῶν μελλόντων πιστεύειν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον. 17 τῷ δὲ βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰώνων, ἀφθάρτῳ, ἀοράτῳ, μόνῳ θεῷ, τιμὴ καὶ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.
18 Ταύτην τὴν παραγγελίαν παρατίθεμαί σοι, τέκνον Τιμόθεε, κατὰ τὰς προαγούσας ἐπὶ σὲ προφητείας, ἵνα στρατεύῃ ἐν αὐταῖς τὴν καλὴν στρατείαν, 19 ἔχων πίστιν καὶ ἀγαθὴν συνείδησιν, ἥν τινες ἀπωσάμενοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν· 20 ὧν ἐστιν Ὑμέναιος καὶ Ἀλέξανδρος, οὓς παρέδωκα τῷ Σατανᾷ ἵνα παιδευθῶσι μὴ βλασφημεῖν.
