For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.

of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.

may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
