6to be specific, that the GentilesG1484 are 1fellowG4789 heirsG4789 and 2fellowG4954 membersG4954 of the bodyG4954, and 3fellowG4830 partakersG4830 of the promiseG1860 in 4ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughG1223 the gospelG2098,

75of whichG3739 I was madeG1096 a 6ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of 7God’sG2316 graceG5485 which was givenG1325 to me 8accordingG2596 to the workingG1753 of His powerG1411.

8To me, 9the veryG1646 leastG1646 of allG3956 10saintsG40, thisG3778 graceG5485 was givenG1325, to 11preachG2097 to the GentilesG1484 the unfathomableG421 12richesG4149 of ChristG5547,

9and to 13bringG5461 to lightG5461 whatG5101 is the administrationG3622 of the 14mysteryG3466 which for agesG165 has been 15hiddenG613 in GodG2316 16who createdG2936 allG3956 thingsG3956;

10soG2443 that the manifoldG4182 17wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 might nowG3568 be 18madeG1107 knownG1107 throughG1223 the churchG1577 to the 19rulersG746 and the authoritiesG1849 in 20the heavenlyG2032 places.

11This was in 21accordanceG2596 with the 22eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 He 23carriedG4160 out in 24ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962,

12in whomG3739 we haveG2192 boldnessG3954 and 2526confidentG4006 27accessG4318 throughG1223 faithG4102 28in Him.
