Ephesians 3:4-9
New American Standard Bible
4 [a]By referring to this, when you read you can understand (A)my insight [b]into the (B)mystery of Christ, 5 which in other generations was not made known to [c]mankind, as it has now been revealed to His holy (C)apostles and prophets [d]in the Spirit; 6 to be specific, that the Gentiles are (D)fellow heirs and (E)fellow members of the body, and (F)fellow partakers of the promise in (G)Christ Jesus through the gospel, 7 (H)of which I was made a (I)minister, according to the gift of (J)God’s grace which was given to me (K)according to the working of His power. 8 To me, (L)the very least of all [e]saints, this grace was given, to (M)preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable (N)riches of Christ, 9 and to [f]enlighten all people as to what the plan of the (O)mystery is which for ages has been (P)hidden in God, (Q)who created all things;

New International Version
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight(A) 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.(B) 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs(C) together with Israel, members together of one body,(D) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.(E)
7 I became a servant of this gospel(F) by the gift of God’s grace given me(G) through the working of his power.(H) 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,(I) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles(J) the boundless riches of Christ,(K) 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery,(L) which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
