Eternal life Quote by Paul the Apostle
““Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: 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 immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.””

![“Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own [will], is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things…” quote by Paul the Apostle](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5bb/paul-the-apostle-10243_accounts_love-is-patient-love-is-kind-and-is-not_260727.jpg)
