In the days of Noah
1 Peter 3:20
Who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days
of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all,
were saved through water,
To the Israelites
Psalms 78:38
Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not
destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his
full wrath.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem
Matthew 23:37
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone
those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as
a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.
Towards Paul
1 Timothy 1:12-16
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength,
that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.
13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a
violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly,
along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full
acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the
worst.
16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me,
the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an
example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.
