16 But I received mercy(A) for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate His extraordinary patience(B) as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.(C) 17 Now to the King(D) eternal,(E) immortal,(F) invisible, the only(a) God,(G) be honor(H) and glory(I) forever and ever. Amen.(J)
