Verse 16
1 Timothy 3:16
Bible in Basic English
16
And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God (Elohim)'s approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

And undeniably, great is the mystery of godliness: He was revealed in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.
