First Reading for Saturday of the 23rd Week in Ordinary Time I

1 Timothy 1:15-17

Summary: Christ Jesus came to save sinners, showing mercy even to the worst, so that his patience might inspire all who would believe and gain eternal life.

Christ’s Patience with Sinners

Beloved: This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost. 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 everlasting life. To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
