²⁵ God's plan was to make me a servant of his church and to send me to preach his complete message to you. ²⁶ For ages and ages this message was kept secret from everyone, but now it has been explained to God's people. ²⁷ God did this because he wanted you Gentiles to understand his wonderful and glorious mystery. And the mystery is that Christ lives in you, and he is your hope of sharing in God's glory.
