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

¹ For this cause I Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ for you gentiles, ² if indeed you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God given to me for you, ³ that by revelation the mystery was made known to me,??s I wrote before in a few words, ⁴ by reading which you can understand my knowledge of the mystery of Christ,??5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, ⁶ that the gentiles are co-heirs and of the same body and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, ⁷ of which I was made a minister by the gracious gift of God, given to me by the operation of his power.

⁸ To me, who am the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹ and to enlighten all men as to the dispensation of the mystery concealed from eternity in God who created all things, ¹⁰ that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly [worlds] should be made known, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God, ¹¹ according to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord, ¹² in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him. ¹³ Wherefore I desire you not to faint on account of my afflictions for you, which are your glory.
