Selected verse

For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

14

These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,

15

but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

16

Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great:

God was revealed in the flesh,

justified in the spirit,

seen by angels,

preached among the nations,

believed on in the world,

and received up in glory.
