Ephesians 3:4-9

41By referring to thisG3739, when you readG314 you canG1410 understandG3539 2my insightG4907 3into the 4mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547,

5whichG3739 in otherG2087 generationsG1074 was not madeG1107 knownG1107 to 5mankindG444, as it has nowG3568 been revealedG601 to His holyG40 6apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396 7in the SpiritG4151;

6to be specific, that the GentilesG1484 are 8fellowG4789 heirsG4789 and 9fellowG4954 membersG4954 ofG4954 theG4954 bodyG4954, and 10fellowG4830 partakersG4830 of the promiseG1860 in 11ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughG1223 the gospelG2098,

712of whichG3739 I was madeG1096 a 13ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of 14God’sG2316 graceG5485 which was givenG1325 to me 15accordingG2596 to the workingG1753 of His powerG1411.

8To me, 16the veryG1646 leastG1646 of allG3956 17saintsG40, thisG3778 graceG5485 was givenG1325, to 18preachG2097 to the GentilesG1484 the unfathomableG421 19richesG4149 of ChristG5547,

9and to 20enlightenG5461 allG3956 peopleG3956 as to whatG5101 the planG3622 of the 21mysteryG3466 is which for agesG165 has been 22hiddenG613 in GodG2316, 23who createdG2936 allG3956 thingsG3956;
