1 Timothy 6:15
Verse 15. Which in his times he shall show] Jesus will appear in the most proper time; the time which the infinite God in his wisdom has appointed for the second coming of his Son. The blessed and only Potentate] δυναστης, Potentate, is applied to secular governors; but none of these can be styled ομακαριοςκαιμονος, the happy and only One; οβασιλευςτων βασιλευοντων, the King of kings, or the King over all kings; and κυριοςτωνκυριευοντων, the Lord over all lords or rulers. These are titles which could not be given to any mortals. This is made more specific by the verse following. Ver. 15. ομακαριοςκαιμονοςδυναστηςοβασιλευςτων βασιλευοντωνκαικυριοςτωνκυριευοντων. The supreme Being is also styled the King of kings, and the Blessed, by AESCHYLUS in his tragedy of the Supplicants:- αναξανακτωνμακαρων μακαρτατεκαιτελεων τελειοτατονκρατος. Ver 520. Ed. Porson. "O King of kings! most Blessed of the blessed! most Perfect of the perfect!"
