ISB ~ 1 Timothy 1 v12 - 17

An autobiographical aside. Paul stands as a living exemplar of Christ’s redemptive work, i.e., an example of how the Lord can transform even rebellious sinners into remarkable saints. In the end, the tragic tale of Saul the Pharisee became the epic story of Paul the Apostle because of one fact:the grace and mercy of God was poured out upon him (1:13; 1 Cor 15:10) (CCC 545).
