I Timothy 1:12, 16-17

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry

However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
