15. Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:
16. howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.
17. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
18. This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;
19. holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:
20. of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
