35th Sunday after Pentecost
1 Tim. 1:15-17

A reading - from the First Letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Timothy

Timothy my son: This saying is trustworthy and deserves full ac| cep| tance:

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the | fore| most.

But for that reason I was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in him for ever|lasting | life.

To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, honor and glory forever - and -ever. - Amen.
