Ephesians 3: 2 - 12
|
| 2
|
assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,
|
| 3
|
how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.
|
| 4
|
When you read this you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ,
|
| 5
|
which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
|
| 6
|
that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
|
| 7
|
Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.
|
| 8
|
To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
|
| 9
|
and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;
|
| 10
|
that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
|
| 11
|
This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
|
| 12
|
in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him.
