I Am Writing So You Will Know How To Conduct Yourself In The Church

¹⁴ I am writing these things to you hoping to come to you quickly, ¹⁵ but in-case I am slow^[a], in order that you may know how you ought-to conduct-yourself ^[b] in the household of God— which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support^[c] of the truth.

God Was Revealed In The Flesh, But Some Will Depart From The Faith And Good Teaching

¹⁶ And the mystery of godliness is confessedly great: Who^[d] was revealed^[e] in the flesh, was declared-righteous^[f] in the spirit^[g]; was seen^[h] by messengers^[i], was proclaimed among the nations; was believed in the world, was taken-up in glory. 4 ¹ But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart^[j] from the faith, paying-attention-to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons ² by means of the hypocrisy of liars having been seared as to their own conscience— ³ forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods which God created for a receiving with thanksgiving by the ones who are believers and know^[k] the truth. ⁴ Because every creature of God is good. And nothing being received with thanksgiving is to be rejected, ⁵ for it is sanctified^[l] by the word of God and prayer.
