14 to obey[a] this command[b] without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ 15 —whose appearing[c] the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time. 16 He alone possesses immortality and lives in unapproachable light, whom no human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.
