1 Timothy 3:14-16
21st Century King James Version
14 These things I write unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly,
15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou ought to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And beyond controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

1 Timothy 3:14-16
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.
