* For this reason , I , Paul , the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you , the nations , * if , indeed , you heard of the stewardship of the grace of God given to me for you , * that by revelation He made known to me the mystery , as I wrote before in brief , * by the reading of which you are able to realize my understanding in the mystery of Christ , * which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations , as it now has been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit , * for the nations to be joint-heirs , and a joint-body and joint-sharers of His promise in Christ through the gospel , * of which I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me , according to the working of His power . * This grace was given to me , less than the least of all the saints , to proclaim the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ among the nations , * and to bring to light all , what is the fellowship of the mystery having been hidden from eternity in God , the One creating all things through Jesus Christ , * so that now to the rulers and to the authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God , * according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord , * in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through His faith . * Therefore , I ask you not to faint at my troubles on your behalf , which is your glory .
