1 Timothy 3:16
The mystery of godliness; that great mystery of the manifestation of God in human nature, of which the apostle proceeds to speak. It is a mystery, as having been hitherto hidden in the secret counsels of God; and the mystery of godliness, as having godliness for its end in all that believe.God was manifest in the flesh; compare Joh 1:14, "And the Word was made flesh"--the same Word which was in the beginning with God, and was God, verse 1Ti 3:1.Justified in the Spirit; shown to be just in his claims as the Messiah, by the Holy Ghost, given to him without measure, and working in and by him with divine power.Seen of angels; who ministered to him and worshipped him, even in his deepest humiliation. Heb 1:6.Preached unto the Gentiles; to all nations as the almighty and only Saviour.Believed on; by multitudes of Jews and Gentiles.Received up into glory; where he ever lives to make intercession for all who come unto God by him. Heb 7:25.
