Ephesians 3:4-9
English Standard Version
4 (A)When you read this, you can perceive my insight into (B)the mystery of Christ, 5 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. 6 This mystery is[a] that the Gentiles are (C)fellow heirs, (D)members of the same body, and (E)partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
7 (F)Of this gospel I was made (G)a minister according to the gift of (H)God's grace, which was given me (I)by the working of his power. 8 To me, (J)though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, (K)to preach to the Gentiles the (L)unsearchable (M)riches of Christ, 9 and (N)to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery (O)hidden for ages in[b] God, (P)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.
