Reading 1, First Timothy 3:14-16

¹⁴ I write this to you in the hope that I may be able to come to you soon;

¹⁵ but in case I should be delayed, I want you to know how people ought to behave in God's household -- that is, in the Church of the living God, pillar and support of the truth.

¹⁶ Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is very deep indeed: He was made visible in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed to the gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory.
