1This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ
Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles— 2for surely you have
already heard of the commission of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation,
as I wrote above in a few words, 4a reading of which will
enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ.
5In former generations this mystery was not made known to
humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the
Spirit: 6that is, the Gentiles have become fellow-heirs,
members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the
gospel. 7 Of this gospel I have become a servant
according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of his
power. 8Although I am the very least of all the saints,
this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless
riches of Christ, 9and to make everyone see*
what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;
10so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich
variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly
places. 11This was in accordance with the eternal purpose
that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12in
whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him.
