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

¹ For this cause, I Paul the servant of Jesus Christ am in bonds for your sakes, which are heathen - ² If ye have heard of the ministration of the grace of God which is given me to you ward - ³ For by revelation showed he this mystery unto me, as I wrote above in few words, ⁴ whereby, when ye read ye may know mine understanding in the mystery of Christ, ⁵ which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit: ⁶ That the gentiles should be inheritors also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise that is in Christ, by the means of the gospel, ⁷ whereof I am made a minister, by the gift of the grace of God given unto me, through the working of his power.

⁸ Unto me, the least of all saints, is this grace given; that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, which made all things through Jesus Christ, ¹⁰ to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God, ¹¹ according to that eternal purpose, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord, ¹² by whom we are bold to draw nigh in that trust, which we have by faith on him. ¹³ Wherefore, I desire that ye faint not because of my tribulations which I suffer for your sakes: which is your praise.
