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.
13 aTherefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, bwhich is your glory.
Appreciation of the Mystery
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the aFather of our Lord Jesus Christ,
