* For this cause I , Paul , am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles , * if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you ; * how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me , as I wrote before in few words , * by which , when you read , you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ ; * 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 ; * 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 , * 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 . * To me , the very least of all saints , was this grace given , to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ , * and to make all men see what is the administration {TR reads "fellowship " instead of "administration "} of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God , who created all things through Jesus Christ ; * 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 , * according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord ; * in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him . * Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you , which are your glory .
