1 Timothy 3:13-16
English Standard Version
13 For (A)those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
The Mystery of Godliness
14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. 16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
(B)He[a] was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated[b] by the Spirit,[c]
(C)seen by angels,
(D)proclaimed among the nations,
(E)believed on in the world,
(F)taken up in glory.
