"This is a worthy thing, and it pleases God our Savior, whose desire it is that all men should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth - namely that there is one God and one mediator between God and man, Messiah Jesus, who is himself a man, who gave himself a ransom for them all, that testimony to be proclaimed at the proper seasons."1 Tim. 2:3-6
"A typical unitarian, non-Trinitarian statement about who the one God is. It reflects exactly the Jewish heritage of Paul and all NT writers. Mal 2:10 summarized this simple creed: "Do we not all have one Father? Has not one God created us?" God and Father are equivalent, as is true of 1300 occurrences in the NT. In Dan. 3:17, LXX the young men appealed to "our one Lord" and Jesus affirmed the unitarian creed of Israel in Mark 12:29 in complete agreement with a first-century Jewish scholar." Anthony Buzzard Commentary
