Ephesians 3:3-9
31that 2by revelation there was 3made known to me 4the mystery, 5as I wrote before briefly.
46By referring to this, when you read you can understand 7my insight 8into the 9mystery of Christ,
5which in other generations was not made known to 10mankind, 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,
717of 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,
9and to 25enlighten all people as to what the plan of the 26mystery is which for ages has been 27hidden in God, 28who created all things;
