of fathers and murderers of mothers and murderers of their fellow-men,
[1:10]fornicators, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjurers, and
whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, [1:11]according to the
glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been intrusted.
[1:12]And I thank our Lord Jesus Christ who has empowered me [to
preach,] that he accounted me faithful, putting me in the ministry,
[1:13]who formerly was a blasphemer and persecutor and an injurious
man; but I obtained mercy because I did those things ignorantly in
unbelief; [1:14]and the grace of our Lord greatly abounded with the
faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. [1:15]The word is true and
worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners, of whom I am chief; [1:16]but on this account I obtained

that they may learn not to blaspheme.

intercessions, thanksgivings should be offered for all men, [2:2]for
kings and all in authority, that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives
in all piety and sanctity. [2:3]For this is good and acceptable in the
sight of God our Saviour, [2:4]who wishes all men to be saved and to
come to a knowledge of truth. [2:5] For there is one God, and one
mediator of God and man, the man Christ Jesus, [2:6]who gave himself a
ransom for all, a testimony for its own times, [2:7]of which I was made
a herald and an apostle,--I speak the truth, I lie not,--a teacher of
nations in faith and truth.

5 [2:8]I wish also that men should pray everywhere, lifting up holy
hands, without wrath and disputations; [2:9]and in like manner also,
that women in becoming apparel with modesty and sobriety adorn
