1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner
of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

2 if it is so that you have heard of the
administration of that grace of God which
was given me toward you,

3 how that by revelation the mystery was
made known to me, as I wrote before in
few words,

4 by which, when you read, you can perceive
my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

5 which in other generations was not
made known to the children of men, as it
has now been revealed to his holy apostles
and prophets in the Spirit,

6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and
fellow members of the body, and fellow
partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus
through the Good News,

7 of which I was made a servant according
to the gift of that grace of God which
was given me according to the working of
his power.

8 To me, the very least of all saints, was
this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles
the unsearchable riches of Christ,

9 and to make all men see what is the
administration† of the mystery which for
ages has been hidden in God, who created
all things through Jesus Christ,

10 to the intent that now through the assembly
the manifold wisdom of God might
be made known to the principalities and
the powers in the heavenly places,

11 according to the eternal purpose
which he accomplished in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
