1 TIMOTHY 1:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 3
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;”
I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service — Paul's autobiography becomes theology: Christ's judgment (ēxiōsen) of him as faithful constitutes apostolic legitimacy. Strength (endunamoō) comes not from personal virtue but from Christ's empowerment.
