1 Timothy 1:17 Context
15This is a faithfull saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Iesus came into the world to saue sinners, of whom I am chiefe. 16Howbeit, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Iesus Christ might shew foorth all long suffering, for a paterne to them which should hereafter beleeue on him to life euerlasting. 17Now vnto þe king eternal, immortall, inuisible, the onely wise God, be honour and glory for euer & euer. Amen. 18This charge I commit vnto thee, sonne Timothie, according to the prophesies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest warre a good warfare, 19Holding faith, and a good conscience, which some hauing put away, concerning faith, haue made shipwracke.
