Ephesians 3:2-8

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

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 11mankind, as it has now been revealed to His holy 12apostles and prophets 13in the Spirit;

8To me, 22the very least of all 23saints, this grace was given, to 24preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable 25riches of Christ,
