1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels… I. HE WAS PREACHED UNTO THE GENTILES AS THE DIVINE SON OF GOD. II. THE INCARNATE GOD WAS PREACHED UNTO THE GENTILES AS HAVING BY HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS PRESENTED AN ATONING SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD. III. CHRIST WAS PREACHED UNTO THE GENTILES AS THE HIGH PRIEST AND DAYS-MAN APPOINTED TO MEDIATE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, AND TO RECONCILE MAN TO HIS OFFENDED CREATOR. IV. THE INCARNATE GOD WAS PREACHED UNTO THE GENTILES AS THE GRAND CENTRE AND MEANS OF UNION TO THE WHOLE CHURCH OF GOD. V. CHRIST WAS PREACHED TO THE GENTILES AS THE SUPREME AND UNIVERSAL JUDGE. (S. Lucas.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
