The Great Mystery

14 These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; 15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and [a]ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the [b]mystery of godliness:

(C)Justified in the Spirit,
(D)Seen by angels,
(E)Preached among the Gentiles,
(F)Believed on in the world,
(G)Received up in glory.
