10For whoremongers, for them that defile themselues with mankinde, for men-stealers, for liars, for periured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, 11According to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 12And I thanke Christ Iesus our Lord, who hath enabled mee: for that he counted me faithfull, putting me into the Ministerie, 13Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and iniurious. But I obtained mercie, because I did it ignorantly, in vnbeliefe. 14And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant, with faith, & loue, which is in Christ Iesus.
