Ephesians 3:2-6
New Living Translation
2 assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles. 3 As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. 4 As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. 5 God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.
6 And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.[a]

Ephesians 3:2-6
New International Version
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me(A) for you, 3 that is, the mystery(B) made known to me by revelation,(C) as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight(D) into the mystery of Christ, 5 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.(E) 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs(F) together with Israel, members together of one body,(G) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.(H)
