1 Timothy 6:16 speaks of Jesus and is in King James Version translated as:
> Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can
> approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour
> and power everlasting. Amen.
However rather than the expression "Who only hath immortality", the original Greek text refers to Jesus being **the only one** having immortality.
Here is the text from the interlinear bible at BibleHub :
And here is how it is scripture4all interlinear :
Here's the passage from verse 13 to verse 16, for context. This is according to KJV (from here ).
> **13** I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a
> good confession; **14** That thou keep this commandment without spot,
> unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: **15**
> Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only
> Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; **16** Who only hath
> immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto;
> whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power
> everlasting. Amen.
If everyone has an immortal soul then certainly when Paul wrote this there would have been other persons (either among those who had died, or those who were alive at the time) who also had immortality.
What is the Mormon perspective on how Jesus is here the only one having immortality if everyone has an immortal soul?
