Where does Paul mention the three persons of the Godhead?
In II Corinthians 13:14, Paul refers to the three persons of the Godhead in a clear, unadulterated statement. This verse is identified as the clearest Trinitarian statement in Paul's epistles, second only to the account of Christ's baptism, where all three persons are referenced together.
Les teaches that II Corinthians 13:14 is the clearest statement concerning the Trinity anywhere in Scripture, especially in Paul's epistles, next to Christ's baptism. He notes that when people ask for Scripture on the Trinity, he uses Christ's baptism and this verse. At Christ's baptism, the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove, showing all three persons of the Trinity at one time. In II Corinthians 13:14, Paul makes reference to the three persons of the Godhead in a pure, unadulterated statement. Les also mentions I Corinthians 14, where he thinks the Father is implied, and notes that normally we put the persons of the Trinity in a certain order out of habit.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
