1 Timothy 3:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you soon, 15 but [a]in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how [b]one ought to conduct himself in (A)the household of God, which is the (B)church of (C)the living God, the (D)pillar and support of the truth. 16 And by common confession, great is (E)the mystery of godliness:
He who was (F)manifested in the flesh,
Was [c](G)vindicated [d]in the Spirit,
(H)Seen by angels,
(I)Proclaimed among the nations,
(J)Believed on in the world,
(K)Taken up in glory.

Summary and Doxology
14 I am writing these things to you even though I hope to come to you shortly. 15 But if I am delayed, I wanted you to know how it is necessary to behave in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16 Undeniably, great is the mystery of godliness:
He[a] was revealed in flesh,
was justified in spirit,[b]
was seen by messengers,[c]
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory.
