31that 2by revelationG602 there was 3madeG1107 knownG1107 to me 4the mysteryG3466, 5as I wroteG4270 beforeG4270 brieflyG1722G3641. 46By referring to thisG3739, when you readG314 you canG1410 understandG3539 7my insightG4907 8into the 9mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547, 5whichG3739 in otherG2087 generationsG1074 was not madeG1107 knownG1107 to 10mankindG444, as it has nowG3568 been revealedG601 to His holyG40 11apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396 12in the SpiritG4151; 6to be specific, that the GentilesG1484 are 13fellowG4789 heirsG4789 and 14fellowG4954 membersG4954 ofG4954 theG4954 bodyG4954, and 15fellowG4830 partakersG4830 of the promiseG1860 in 16ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughG1223 the gospelG2098, 717of whichG3739 I was madeG1096 a 18ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of 19God’sG2316 graceG5485 which was givenG1325 to me 20accordingG2596 to the workingG1753 of His powerG1411. 8To me, 21the veryG1646 leastG1646 of allG3956 22saintsG40, thisG3778 graceG5485 was givenG1325, to 23preachG2097 to the GentilesG1484 the unfathomableG421 24richesG4149 of ChristG5547, 9and to 25enlightenG5461 allG3956 peopleG3956 as to whatG5101 the planG3622 of the 26mysteryG3466 is which for agesG165 has been 27hiddenG613 in GodG2316, 28who createdG2936 allG3956 thingsG3956; 10soG2443 thatG2443 the multifacetedG4182 29wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 might nowG3568 be 30madeG1107 knownG1107 throughG1223 the churchG1577 to the 31rulersG746 and the authoritiesG1849 in 32the heavenlyG2032 places. 11This was in 33accordanceG2596 with the 34eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 He 35carriedG4160 outG4160 in 36ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, 12in whomG3739 we haveG2192 boldnessG3954 and 3738confidentG4006 39accessG4318 throughG1223 faithG4102 40in Him. 13ThereforeG1352 I askG154 41you not 42to becomeG1457 discouragedG1457 about my tribulationsG2347 43inG5228 your behalfG5228, 44since they are your gloryG1391.

14For thisG3778 reasonG5484 I 45bendG2578 my kneesG1119 beforeG4314 the FatherG3962, 15from whomG3739 46everyG3956 familyG3965 in heavenG3772 and on earthG1093 derivesG3687 its nameG3687, 16that He would grantG1325 you, accordingG2596 to 47the richesG4149 of His gloryG1391, to beG2901 48strengthenedG2901 with powerG1411 throughG1223 His SpiritG4151 in 49the innerG2080 50selfG444, 17so that 51ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 in your heartsG2588 throughG1223 faithG4102; and that you, being 52rootedG4492 and 53groundedG2311 in loveG26, 18may be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 with 54allG3956 the 55saintsG40 whatG5101 is 56the widthG4114 and lengthG3372 and heightG5311 and depthG899, 19and to knowG1097 57the loveG26 of ChristG5547 which 58surpassesG5235 knowledgeG1108, that you may be 59filledG4137 to allG3956 the 60fullnessG4138 of GodG2316.

2061NowG1161 to Him who is 62ableG1410 to doG4160 farG5238 moreG5238 abundantlyG5238 beyondG5228 allG3956 that we askG154 orG2228 thinkG3539, 63accordingG2596 to the powerG1411 that worksG1754 withinG1722 us, 2164to Him be the gloryG1391 in the churchG1577 and in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 to allG3956 generationsG1074 65foreverG165 and everG165.
