Lexham English Bible

The Mystery of Godliness Described

14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you in a short time. 15 But if I am delayed, I am writing[a] in order that you may know how one must conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and mainstay[b] of the truth. 16 And most certainly, great is the mystery of godliness:

Who was revealed in the flesh,
    was vindicated by[c] the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
    was proclaimed among the Gentiles[d],
was believed on in the world,
    was taken up in glory.
