1 Timothy 1:1

³but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

²⁷to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

¹⁵But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.

²⁵to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

¹²I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,

¹Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ,^[+] and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

¹Paul, an apostle of Christ^[+] Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

¹⁶Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹⁵Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
