14 I am writing all this to you in the hope that I can come soon, 15 but if I get delayed, at least you’ll know how to organise God’s household, that is the assembly of the living God who is the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16 But yes, this godliness is quite a mystery: he appeared in a body, was declared innocent by the spirit, was seen by messengers, was preached among the nations, was believed in around the world, and then was taken up to heaven to be honoured.
