Reading 1, First Timothy 1:15-17

¹⁵ Here is a saying that you can rely on and nobody should doubt: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I myself am the greatest of them;

¹⁷ To the eternal King, the undying, invisible and only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁴⁷ 'Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and acts on them -- I will show you what such a person is like.

⁴⁸ Such a person is like the man who, when he built a house, dug, and dug deep, and laid the foundations on rock; when the river was in flood it bore down on that house but could not shake it, it was so well built.

⁴⁹ But someone who listens and does nothing is like the man who built a house on soil, with no foundations; as soon as the river bore down on it, it collapsed; and what a ruin that house became!'
