And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. (I Timothy 1:12-13 NKJV)
The Apostle confessed his sins—can we do likewise?
I TIMOTHY 1 IN ITS ENTIRETY.
