Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.
v15-17
Paul acknowlledeges his previous sin, and yet at teh same time understands that Christ's grace is sufficient even for him. The patience of God is something that we can be both frustrated with and also greatly benefit from. God's timing is not someting that we will always understand. Yet He is in control.
