2ifG1487 indeedG1065 you have heardG191 of the 1administrationG3622 of God’sG2316 graceG5485 which was givenG1325 to me for you;
32that 3by revelationG602 there was 4madeG1107 knownG1107 to me 5the mysteryG3466, 6as I wroteG4270 beforeG4270 brieflyG1722G3641.
47By referring to thisG3739, when you readG314 you canG1410 understandG3539 8my insightG4907 9into the 10mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547,
5whichG3739 in otherG2087 generationsG1074 was not madeG1107 knownG1107 to 11mankindG444, as it has nowG3568 been revealedG601 to His holyG40 12apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396 13in the SpiritG4151;
6to be specific, that the GentilesG1484 are 14fellowG4789 heirsG4789 and 15fellowG4954 membersG4954 ofG4954 theG4954 bodyG4954, and 16fellowG4830 partakersG4830 of the promiseG1860 in 17ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughG1223 the gospelG2098,
718of whichG3739 I was madeG1096 a 19ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of 20God’sG2316 graceG5485 which was givenG1325 to me 21accordingG2596 to the workingG1753 of His powerG1411.
8To me, 22the veryG1646 leastG1646 of allG3956 23saintsG40, thisG3778 graceG5485 was givenG1325, to 24preachG2097 to the GentilesG1484 the unfathomableG421 25richesG4149 of ChristG5547,
