And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, (C)devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the (D)multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

(A)how that by revelation (B)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 (C)should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, (D)of which I became a minister (E)according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by (F)the effective working of His power.

Purpose of the Mystery

To me, (G)who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles (H)the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the [a]fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who (I)created all things [b]through Jesus Christ;

In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight(C) into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.(D) This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs(E) together with Israel, members together of one body,(F) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.(G)
