* For this reason I , Paul , the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles -- * if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you , * how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already , * by which , when you read , you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ ), * which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men , as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets : * that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs , of the same body , and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel , * of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power . * To me , who am less than the least of all the saints , this grace was given , that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ , * and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery , which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ ; * to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places , * according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord , * in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him . * Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you , which is your glory .
