Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church
1 Timothy 3:5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)
1 Corinthians 10:32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God--...
of the living God
Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
the pillar and foundation of the truth
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
Ephesians 1:13-14 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory.
