1 Timothy 1:15-17 Part 2 of 2

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. Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

as an example for those who would believe in him 
John 3:14-15  "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness (Numbers 21:8-9), so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life in him."

and receive eternal life 
Matthew 25:46  "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." 
John 3:16  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Now to the King eternal 
Revelation 15:3  ... and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations."

immortal 
1 Timothy 6:16  ... who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

invisible 
Colossians 1:15  The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

the only God 
Jude 25  ... to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen 
Romans 11:36  For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
