write to
thee, hoping to come unto thee soon,
These things write I
unto
thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
and
if I delay
, that thou mayest know how it
behoveth
`thee'
to conduct
thyself in the house of God, which is an
assembly
of the living God --
a
pillar and foundation
of the truth ,
But
if I tarry
long
, that thou mayest know how thou
oughtest
to behave
thyself in the house of God, which is the
church
of the living God ,
the
pillar and ground
of the truth .
and ,
confessedly,
great is the secret
of piety
--
God was manifested
in flesh, declared
righteous
in spirit, seen by
messengers
, preached among
nations
, believed on in the world, taken
up in
glory !
And without
controversy
great is the mystery
of godliness:
God was manifest
in the
flesh, justified
in the
Spirit, seen of
angels
, preached unto
the
Gentiles
, believed on in the world, received
up into
glory .
