1 Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
As Paul said of himself,
1Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
And Paul also said,
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
As Paul also says,
Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father
Who also told us,
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
But Hebrews also tells us
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:7 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Because as we know Jesus hates iniquity Hebrews 1:9 as Paul tells us again
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Who will Jesus not know, but them that work iniquity as is shown here
Matt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Because the Lord knoweth them that actually are his as Paul says also
2 Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
So we have Paul's words which say, "Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity"
or Jesus words concerning them (which are shown as naming his name) which have not departed from the same (Iniquity) unto whom he said, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
