(A)how the mystery was made known to me (B)by revelation, (C)as I have written briefly. (D)When you read this, you can perceive my insight into (E)the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. This mystery is[a] that the Gentiles are (F)fellow heirs, (G)members of the same body, and (H)partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

To me, (M)though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, (N)to preach to the Gentiles the (O)unsearchable (P)riches of Christ, and (Q)to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery (R)hidden for ages in[b] God, (S)who created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold (T)wisdom of God (U)might now be made known to (V)the rulers and authorities (W)in the heavenly places.

I became a servant of this gospel(H) by the gift of God’s grace given me(I) through the working of his power.(J) Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,(K) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles(L) the boundless riches of Christ,(M) and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery,(N) which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God(O) should be made known(P) to the rulers and authorities(Q) in the heavenly realms,(R)
