(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; 10 (J)to the intent that now (K)the [c]manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church (L)to the [d]principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

that is, the mystery(A) made known to me by revelation,(B) as I have already written briefly. 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)

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)
