11 conforme o evangelho da glória do Deus bendito, que foi confiado a mim.

12 E agradeço àquele que tem me fortalecido, Cristo Jesus, nosso Senhor, porque me considerou fiel, pondo-me no serviço.

13 Antes eu era um blasfemo, perseguidor, e opressor; porém recebi misericórdia, pois foi por ignorância que eu agia com incredulidade.

14 Mas a graça do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo foi mais abundante, com a fé e amor que há em Cristo Jesus.

15 Esta é uma palavra fiel e digna de toda aceitação: que Cristo Jesus veio ao mundo para salvar os pecadores, dos quais eu sou o principal.
