1 Timothy 1:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]Which is according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, [b]which is committed unto me.
12 [c]Therefore I thank him which hath made me [d]strong, that is, Christ Jesus our Lord: for he counted me faithful, and put me in his service:
13 When before I was a [e]blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor: but I was received to mercy: for I did it ignorantly through unbelief.

- 1 Timothy 1:11 He setteth against fond and vain babbling, not only the Law, but the Gospel also, which condemneth not, but greatly commendeth the wholesome doctrine contained in the commandments of God, and therefore he calleth it a glorious Gospel, and the Gospel of the blessed God, the virtue whereof these babblers knew not.
- 1 Timothy 1:11 A reason why neither any other Gospel is to be taught than he hath taught in the Church, neither after any other sort, because there is no other Gospel besides that which God committed to him.
- 1 Timothy 1:12 He maintaineth of necessity his Apostleship against some that did carp at his former life, debasing himself, even to hell, to advance Christ’s only mercy, wherewith he abolished all those his former doings.
- 1 Timothy 1:12 Which gave me strength, not only when I had no will to do well, but also when I was wholly given to evil.
- 1 Timothy 1:13 These are the preparative works which Paul braggeth of.
