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 John 1:14, "And the Word was made flesh"-the same Word which was in the beginning with God, and was God, verse 1 Timothy 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. Hebrews 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. Hebrews 7:25.
