1 Timothy 1:13 in Context — 1 Timothy 1

11 conformément à l’Évangile de la gloire du Dieu bienheureux, Évangile qui m’a été confié.

12 Je rends grâces à celui qui m’a fortifié, à Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur, de ce qu’il m’a jugé fidèle,

13 en m’établissant dans le ministère, moi qui étais auparavant un blasphémateur, un persécuteur, un homme violent. Mais j’ai obtenu miséricorde, parce que j’agissais par ignorance, dans l’incrédulité;

14 et la grâce de notre Seigneur a surabondé, avec la foi et la charité qui est en Jésus-Christ.

15 C’est une parole certaine et entièrement digne d’être reçue, que Jésus-Christ est venu dans le monde pour sauver les pécheurs, dont je suis le premier.
