1 Timothy 1:15 in Context — 1 Timothy 1

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.

16 Mais j’ai obtenu miséricorde, afin que Jésus-Christ fît voir en moi le premier toute sa longanimité, pour que je servisse d’exemple à ceux qui croiraient en lui pour la vie éternelle.

17 Au roi des siècles, immortel, invisible, seul Dieu, soient honneur et gloire, aux siècles des siècles! Amen!
