About this listen
Episode three explores the tiniest of textual choices—a single stroke of ink—that makes 1 Timothy 3:16 read either as “who” or as the explicit claim “God was manifested in the flesh.”
We trace how early scribal practices, reverent abbreviations of sacred names, and centuries of worship and doctrinal debate converge on that small mark, and why the dispute matters beyond a scholarly puzzle: it points to the church’s confession that the eternal One entered real human life, suffered, rose, and was exalted.
Ultimately the episode invites listeners to hold both careful attention to how Scripture was transmitted and a response of worship to the claim at the heart of the hymn: great is the mystery of godliness—God made flesh and lifted into glory.
