Amen. 2 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. 3 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. CC101 CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS EXAM 6
4 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. 5 So Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 6 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 7 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 8 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 9 Jesus said to Him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 10 Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father. 11 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 12 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 13 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you ANOTHER HELPER, that HE may abide with you forever; THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

14 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. 15 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. \ Question C 1.
