1 Timothy 1:13

But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and dragging off men and women, he was delivering them into prison.

“So then, I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

Yet for this reason I was shown mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate all His patience as an example for those who are going to believe upon Him for eternal life.
