Kittel, Gerhard: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament ... "Perhaps recollection of the many triads of the surrounding polytheistic world contributed to the formation of the threefold formulae." (Watchtower, Aug. 1, 1984, pg 22, quoting, Gerhard Kittel, Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, Vol. 3, p. 108) Behind the individual relationships is the total context of salvation history as this may be seen most clearly and succinctly in Gal 4:4 ff.: God first sends the Son, and then, to continue the work. The divine work of salvation is thus prosecuted in the historical threefold relation of Father, Son and Spirit. This threefold relation soon found fixed expression in the triadic formulae in 2 C. 13:13, and in I Cor. 12:4-6.2" The form is first found in the baptismal formula in Mt. 28:19; Did., 7. 1 and 3.

This issue is debated over the following centuries and is only resolved by agreement and exclusion during the christological disputes and creedal councils of the fourth century and beyond. While there are other New Testament texts where God, Jesus, and the Spirit are referred to in the same passage (e.g., Jude 20-21), it is important to avoid reading the Trinity into places where it does not appear. An example is 1 Peter 1.1-2, in which the salutation is addressed to those who have been chosen "according to the foreknowledge of God the Father in holiness of spirit."
