The Mystery of Godliness

14 I am writing these things to yoʋ, hoping to come to yoʋ soon. 15 But if I delay, I am writing so that yoʋ may know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and foundation of the truth. 16 Beyond all question, great is the mystery of godliness:

[fn]God was revealed in the flesh,

vindicated by the Spirit,

seen by angels,

preached among nations,

believed on in the world,

and taken up in glory.
