September 13th : First reading
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners
A reading from the first letter of St.Paul to Timothy 1:15-17
Beloved: The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
The word of the Lord.
