1 Tim. 1:15 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 Tim. 1:14      1 Tim. 1:16

First letter to Timothy 1:15

This is a word to be trusted (credible) and worth taking to heart:
"The Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) Jesus came into the world to save (rescue, heal, liberate) sinners,"
and among them I am the greatest (highest in rank).
[This phrase, "this is a trustworthy saying," is used a total of five times in the pastoral letters. The other four are: 1 Tim 3:1; 1 Tim 4:9; 2 Tim 2:11; Titus 3:8. These are fundamental truths of the Christian faith.
One can see a clear development in Paul's humility when he describes himself. Around 55 AD, he calls himself "the least of the apostles," see 1 Cor. 15:9. A few years later, around 61 AD, he describes himself as "the least of all saints," see Eph. 3:8. And here, in the mid-60s AD, he calls himself "the chief of sinners."]
