Which verse is the clearest statement of the Trinity in Scripture?
Second Corinthians 13:14 is identified as the clearest statement of the Trinity in Scripture, particularly in Paul's epistles, and second only to Christ's baptism, where all three persons of the Godhead appear together. This verse has Paul referring to the three persons of the Godhead in a pure, unadulterated statement.
Les explains that he is not taking 2 Corinthians 13 verse by verse, but he wants to close the book with the final verse, 2 Corinthians 13:14. He calls it probably the clearest statement concerning the Trinity that can be found anywhere in Scripture, especially in Paul's epistles, next to Christ's baptism. When someone asks where the idea of the Trinity comes from, the two passages he uses most are Christ's baptism, where the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove and all three persons of the Trinity were present at one time, and this verse, where the Apostle Paul makes reference to the three persons of the Godhead in a pure, unadulterated statement.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
