'Secret' in the Bible

when he made known to us the secret of his will. This was according to his plan that he set forth in the Messiah

and how this secret was made known to me through a revelation, just as I wrote about briefly in the past.

By reading this, you will be able to grasp my understanding of the secret about the Messiah,

which in previous generations was not made known to human beings as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets. This is that secret:

and help everyone see how this secret that has been at work was hidden for ages by God, who created all things.

For it is shameful even to mention what is done by these disobedient people in secret.

This is a great secret, but I am talking about the Messiah and the church.

Pray also for me, so that, when I begin to speak, the right words will come to me. Then I will boldly make known the secret of the gospel,
