“3:16 The earliest Greek texts have “He” rather than “GOD”. The six phrases which follow appear to be a quotation from an early Christian hymn…” Criswell, W.A., Ph.D., ed. The Criswell Study bible, Nashville: Thomas Nelson, Pubs., 1979
“… The best manuscripts read, ‘Who’, referring to Christ. He was justified by the way the Spirit worked in him.” The Westminister Study Edition of the holy Bible. Philadelphia: The westminister press, 1968
“The context makes it plain that Paul is referring to Christ when he says: He who was manifest in the flesh (ASV)… All the leading words occur elsewhere in Paul’s writings. Flesh.

1 Corinto 15:24-28 Magandang Balita Biblia (MBBTAG)
24 At darating ang wakas,
kapag naibigay na ni Cristo ang kaharian sa Diyos Ama, pagkatapos niyang malupig ang lahat ng paghahari, pamahalaan at kapangyarihan. 25
Sapagkat si Cristo'y dapat maghari hanggang sa malupig niya at lubusang mapasuko ang kanyang mga kaaway. 26 Ang kahuli-hulihang kaaway na kanyang lulupigin ay ang kamatayan. 27 Ganito ang sinasabi ng kasulatan,
“Ang lahat ng bagay ay lubusang ipinailalim ng Diyos sa kanyang kapangyarihan.” Ngunit sa salitang “lahat ng bagay,” maliwanag na hindi kasama rito ang Diyos na siyang naglagay ng lahat ng bagay sa ilalim ng kapangyarihan ni Cristo. 28 At kapag ang lahat ay nasa ilalim na ng kapangyarihan ng Anak,
ipapailalim naman siya sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos na naglagay ng lahat ng bagay sa ilalim ng kapangyarihan niya. Sa gayon, ang Diyos ay mangingibabaw sa lahat.
Kumbaga sa Business "OWNER=Dios" at "MANAGER=Jesus"
Tanong:
Pantay ba sila sa Kalagayan?
Kung ipipilit natin na Dios din si Jesus magiging dalawa na silang Dios.
Juan 17:3: “At ito ang buhay na walang hanggan, na
IKAW AY MAKILALA NILA NA IISANG DIOS NA TUNAY, at
SIYANG IYONG ISINUGO SAMAKATUWID BAGA’Y SI JESUCRISTO.”
Kung Dios si Cristo bakit hindi niya ang araw ng pagbalik niya?
Marcos 13:32
"Ngunit walang nakakaalam ng araw o ng oras na iyon, kahit ang mga anghel sa langit, o ang Anak man. Ang Ama lamang ang nakakaalam nito.
