Beza once said it was the foul work of the devil to deprive Christians of the word “ God ” in i Timothy iii. i6, as “ There is scarcely another passage in which all the mysteries of our redemption are explained so magnificently or so clearly.”

the traditional reading of the text, which, they note, has the support of many of the fathers of the first five centuries. Diodati, Poole, Trapp, and Henry accept the reading, “God was manifest in the flesh," without comment on the textual difficulties — and all four understand the text as a testimony to the identity of Christ as the eternal Son or Word of God.'” The orthodox writers of the day were not ready to give up 1 Timothy 3:16 to the Socinians or the text critics -- from their perspective the balance of evidence , whether textual from the extant codices or theological from the grammar of the text , favored their cause. Against the Racovian Catechism, Pearson commented that “when they tell us that God, that is, the will of God, was manifested m the flesh, that is, was revealed by frail and mortal men, and received up in glory,... they teach us a language which the scriptures know not, and the Holy Ghost never used. 159

Calvin’s comment on 1 Timothy 3:16 — “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory" — is of considerable interest to the later Reformed orthodox reading inasmuch as it not only highlights the importance of the text to traditional doctrinal understanding and even focuses on the phrase " God ...
