Question on 1 Tim.3:16

[zadiq_shophet]

It's been a while but hello to everyone.

Just one question on The part of the passage that says "G-d was manifest in the flesh".

I was reading in a reek exegetical book that the term for "G-d" there was actually "Who" in the older manuscripts. What does the peshitta or what is the rendering in the Aramaic texts.

Thanks in advance.

Shlama Zadik Shofet:
I hope this helps.

Kinutho according to Sedra3 means righteousness, uprightness, godliness, rectitude, justice

1Timothy 3:16 - And truly great is this mystery of righteousness, [Kinutho.] which was revealed in the flesh, and justified by the Spirit, and seen of angels, and preached among the peoples, and believed in the world, and taken up into glory.

James Murdock
1Timothy 3:16 - and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

KJV
1Timothy 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.

The KJV has added the title God.

Thank you sir, I had recently found a site that shows "kinutho" as well and that is the same conclusion to which I have come, thanks again.

Peace.
