Ephesians 3:1-13 - The Mystery Of Christ Revealed

¹ For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles, ² since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you, ³ that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. ⁴ With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ, ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets. ⁶ For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news. ⁷ Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power.

⁸ To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good-news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church, ¹¹ according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord, ¹² in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith. ¹³ Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.
