1 Timothy 3:14-16
World English Bible
14 These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly; 15 but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great:
God[a] was revealed in the flesh,
justified in the spirit,
seen by angels,
preached among the nations,
believed on in the world,
and received up in glory.

American Standard Version
14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly; 15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know [a]how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and [b]ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness;
[c]He who was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the spirit,
Seen of angels,
Preached among the [d]nations,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
