Theodoret of Cyrus, on 1Tim 3:16

“And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.”

“The "mystery" is the sacred object of reverence, namely, that what was foreordained from the beginning and afterward became manifest.”
