Yes, the Trinity is clearly stated in II Corinthians 13:14, as Les Feldick teaches.
Les Feldick identifies II Corinthians 13:14 as the clearest statement of the Trinity, where all three persons are explicitly named. He also highlights other passages like Matthew 3:16-17 and Romans 8:26-27 where all three appear together.
II Corinthians 13:14 — This verse explicitly names all three persons of the Trinity in one sentence, making it the clearest statement.
The Bible does not use the word 'Trinity,' but it reveals God as three persons. A key verse is II Corinthians 13:14 (KJV): 'The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.' This directly names the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit together.
Les Feldick teaches that the clearest statement of the Trinity is found in II Corinthians 13:14. He also points to New Testament passages like Matthew 3:16-17 (baptism of Jesus) and Romans 8:26-27 as instances where all three persons are present. He emphasizes that God is one but in three distinct persons, a truth to be taken by faith, and notes that the Old Testament hints at it but the New Testament reveals it clearly.
Les Feldick points to Matthew 3:16-17 as one of only two places in all Scripture where all three members of the Trinity appear together. At Jesus' baptism, the Holy Spirit descends like a dove, and the Father speaks from heaven, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'
Les Feldick teaches that the Old Testament has 'evidences' of the triune God, such as Genesis 1:26 where God says 'Let us make man in our image.' However, the clarity is limited, which is why many Jewish people and rabbis do not recognize the Trinity. He notes that the full revelation came in the New Testament, particularly through the mystery revealed to Paul.
Les Feldick points to Romans 8:26-27 and the surrounding context where all three persons of the Godhead appear within a few verses. He notes that the Spirit makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God, and then the passage continues dealing with Christ, showing the triune nature.

Now you see, that was all foreknown before anything was ever created, and it was all consummated, you might say, in the thought process of the Trinity.

And I'm not talking about Messianic Jews, I'm talking about Orthodox Jews. And you see they can't comprehend this either. They just cannot see that Christ was the God of the Old Testament. They can't comprehend the Trinity, they refuse the Trinity, and of course they use the verse in Deuteronomy where Moses writes, "...our God is One.
Invisible Trinity
Les teaches that the Trinity is invisible, and no man has seen the Godhead, but God the Son reveals Himself in visible form.
II Corinthians 13:14: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
Paul's benediction explicitly names all three persons, making it the clearest single statement of the Trinity.
Matthew 3:16-17: And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
At Jesus' baptism, the Father speaks, the Spirit descends, and the Son is present, showing all three persons.
Romans 8:26-27: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
These verses mention the Spirit and God (the Father), and later in the chapter Christ is discussed, showing all three.
The Trinity is the teaching that God is one being in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Les Feldick emphasizes that each is a distinct personality yet together they are the one God.
Yes, Les Feldick identifies II Corinthians 13:14 as the clearest statement, where all three persons are explicitly named. Other passages like Matthew 3:16-17 also show all three together.
