1 Timothy 3:14-16
Welcome to our online Bible study.
We are glad that you are here!
Today we are reading 1 Timothy 3.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
1 Timothy 3:14 -16 - I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long; 15 but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. 16 By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.
