To Timothy, Paul wrote: “I was shown mercy [so] that by means of me as the foremost case Christ Jesus might demonstrate all his long - suffering for a sample of those who are going to rest their faith on him for everlasting life. ”
Timoteosele kirjutas ta: „Ma olen saanud armu, et Jeesus Kristus kõigepealt minus osutaks kõike oma pikka meelt eeskujuks neile, kes veel edaspidi saavad usklikuks temasse igaveseks eluks ”.
