1 Timothy 1:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

18 Timothy, my child, I entrust you with this command in keeping with the previous prophecies about you, so that by them you may fight the good fight,

19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
