Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:15 - which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:16 - who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.
