10 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which *I* have been entrusted.

13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
