But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, the first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation ofb those about to believe on him to life eternal.

JND Translation Notes

+
b
As "outline," 2 Tim. 1.13. It is a mistake to confine delineation to long-suffering, and so make "of" mean "for." "for those," etc. Paul was a delineation of Christ's ways in their case, even, I doubt not, in the case of the rebellious Jews hereafter. the whole long-suffering was in Paul's case, so as to picture every case. In those who companied with Christ when alive this was not so, though the grace was really the same; but there was not the same showing forth of it.

But for this cause mercy was shown me that in me, [as] chief, Christ might display the whole long-suffering for an outline-sketch of those that should believe on him unto life eternal.
