1 Timothy 3:16

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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.

World English Bible (WEB)

And{G2532} without controversy{G3672} great{G3173} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the mystery{G3466} of godliness{G2150}: God{G2316} was manifest{G5319}{(G5681)} in{G1722} the flesh{G4561}, justified{G1344}{(G5681)} in{G1722} the Spirit{G4151}, seen{G3700}{(G5681)} of angels{G32}, preached{G2784}{(G5681)} unto{G1722} the Gentiles{G1484}, believed on{G4100}{(G5681)} in{G1722} the world{G2889}, received up{G353}{(G5681)} into{G1722} glory{G1391}.

Strong's King James

(16) Undeniably great is the mystery of godliness!

The One revealed in flesh,
Was declared righteous in רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit,
Seen of messenger angels,
Proclaimed in Gentile nations,
Believed in the world,
Taken up in glory!

The F.O.G*
[16] Beyond any doubt, the mystery of our faith is breathtakingly beautiful: The Messiah appeared in human flesh, vindicated by the Spirit's power, beheld by angels in awe, proclaimed among all nations, embraced by people worldwide through faith, and taken up in glory to reign supreme.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety—God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!
