Ephesians 3:2-8

2if indeed you have heard of the 1stewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you;

3 2that 3by revelation there was 4made known to me 5the mystery, 6as I wrote before in brief.

4 7By referring to this, when you read you can understand 8my insight 9into the 10mystery of Christ,

5which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy 11apostles and prophets 12in the Spirit;

6to be specific, that the Gentiles are 13fellow heirs and 14fellow members of the body, and 15fellow partakers of the promise in 16Christ Jesus through the gospel,

7 17of which I was made a 18minister, according to the gift of 19God’s grace which was given to me 20according to the working of His power.

8To me, 21the very least of all 22saints, this grace was given, to 23preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable 24riches of Christ,
