Apostle Paul lists the qualifications of the 2 church offices: bishops (pastors) and deacons.
These men are the leaders in the local church assemblies.
The pastor's teaching should equip the saints to be ambassadors to do the work of the ministry in the community.
What is the "mystery of godliness" (1 Tim. 3:16)?
That God would be manifest to Israel in the flesh was not a mystery, but prophesied (Isaiah 7:13, 14; John 1:14).
The "mystery of godliness" mentions 6 things and each part is described in detail.
Furthermore, our church model is compared and contrasted with the Davidic Temple order.
