Ephesians 3:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 To me, (A)the very least of all [a]saints, this grace was given, to (B)proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unfathomable (C)riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the (D)mystery which for ages has been (E)hidden in God (F)who created all things; 10 so that the manifold (G)wisdom of God might now be (H)made known through the church to the (I)rulers and the authorities in (J)the heavenly places. 11 This was in (K)accordance with the [b]eternal purpose which He [c]carried out in (L)Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and [d](M)confident (N)access through faith [e]in Him. 13 Therefore I ask [f]you not (O)to lose heart at my afflictions (P)on your behalf, which are your glory.

Christian Standard Bible
8 This grace was given to me—the least of all the saints—to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches(A) of Christ, 9 and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created(B) all things. 10 This is so that God’s multi-faceted wisdom(C) may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.(D) 11 This is according to his eternal purpose(E) accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 In him we have boldness and confident access(F) through faith in him.[a] 13 So, then, I ask you not to be discouraged(G) over my afflictions on your behalf, for they are your glory.(H)
