Ephesians 3:6-12

6to be specific, that the Gentiles are 1fellow heirs and 2fellow members of the body, and 3fellow partakers of the promise in 4Christ Jesus through the gospel,

7 5of which I was made a 6minister, according to the gift of 7God’s grace which was given to me 8according to the working of His power.

8To me, 9the very least of all 10saints, this grace was given, to 11preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable 12riches of Christ,

9and to 13enlighten all people as to what the plan of the 14mystery is which for ages has been 15hidden in God, 16who created all things;

10so that the multifaceted 17wisdom of God might now be 18made known through the church to the 19rulers and the authorities in 20the heavenly places.

11This was in 21accordance with the 22eternal purpose which He 23carried out in 24Christ Jesus our Lord,

12in whom we have boldness and 25 26confident 27access through faith 28in Him.
