14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, 15 if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. 16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion:

Heh was manifested in the flesh,

vindicated* in the Spirit,

seen by angels,

preached among the nations,

believed on in the world,

taken up in glory.
