Read Ephesians 3 in full →The Mystery of Christ Revealed
3For this reason I, Paul, athe prisoner of bChrist Jesus con behalf of you dGentiles— 2if indeed you heard of the astewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you; 3athat bby revelation there was cmade known to me dthe mystery, eas I wrote before in brief. 4About which, when you read you can understand amy insight 1into the bmystery of Christ, 5which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy aapostles and prophets 1in the Spirit: 6that the Gentiles are afellow heirs and bfellow members of the body, and cfellow partakers of the promise in dChrist Jesus through the gospel, 7aof which I was made a bminister, according to the gift of cGod’s grace which was given to me daccording to the working of His power. 8To me, athe very least of all 1saints, this grace was given, to bproclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unfathomable criches of Christ, 9and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the amystery which for ages has been bhidden in God cwho created all things; 10so that the manifold awisdom of God might now be bmade known through the church to the crulers and the authorities in dthe heavenly places. 11This was in aaccordance with the 1eternal purpose which He 2carried out in bChrist Jesus our Lord, 12in whom we have boldness and 1,aconfident baccess through faith 2in Him. 13Therefore I ask 1you not ato lose heart at my afflictions bon your behalf, which are your glory.
