The Mystery Revealed

1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles—
2 if indeed you have heard of the1 dispensation of the grace of God awhich was given to me for you,  
3 ahow that by revelation bHe made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,  
4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),
5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:
6 that the Gentiles ashould be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,  
7 aof which I became a minister baccording to the gift of the grace of God given to me by cthe effective working of His power.  

Purpose of the Mystery

8 To me, awho am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles bthe unsearchable riches of Christ,  
9 and to make all see what is the1 fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who acreated all things through Jesus Christ;  
10 ato the intent that now bthe manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church cto the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,  
11 aaccording to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,  
12 in whom we have boldness and access awith confidence through faith in Him.
