nevertheless, the Lord hath shewn unto me that they should return again.

1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Simple English

But the Lord has shown me that they will come back again. He has also shown me that the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, will show himself to them in the flesh. After he shows himself, they will whip him and kill him on a cross. This is what the angel told me.

Paraphrase

But the Lord has also shown me they’ll return. And he showed me something else: the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, will appear to them in the flesh. And after he appears to them, they’ll beat him and crucify him—just as the angel told me.
