1 Timothy / Question
Question source
1 Timothy
The saying is: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Paul adds that he is the foremost (or chief) of sinners as an example of Christ’s patience. See 1 Timothy 1:15–16.
15The saying is faithful, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him to eternal life.
