This mystery is[a] that the Gentiles are (A)fellow heirs, (B)members of the same body, and (C)partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

(D)Of this gospel I was made (E)a minister according to the gift of (F)God's grace, which was given me (G)by the working of his power. To me, (H)though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, (I)to preach to the Gentiles the (J)unsearchable (K)riches of Christ, and (L)to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery (M)hidden for ages in[b] God, (N)who created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold (O)wisdom of God (P)might now be made known to (Q)the rulers and authorities (R)in the heavenly places. 11 This was (S)according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have (T)boldness and (U)access with (V)confidence through our (W)faith in him.
