³that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words, ⁴In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; ⁵which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.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,Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; ⁶This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.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,That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:to wit, that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, ⁷I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.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.Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. ⁸Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; ⁹and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.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,And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things; ¹⁰His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,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,To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God, ¹¹according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: ¹²In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him. ¹³So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory. ¹⁴... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, ¹⁵from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, ¹⁶I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; ¹⁷so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
