1 Timothy 3:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long; 15 but [a]in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one should act 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 Beyond question, great is (E)the mystery of godliness:
He who was (F)revealed in the flesh,
Was [b](G)vindicated [c]in the Spirit,
(H)Seen by angels,
(I)Proclaimed among the nations,
(J)Believed on in the world,
(K)Taken up in glory.

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.
