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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ(A) 9 and to make everyone see[a] what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in[b] God, who created all things,(B) 10 so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.[c](C) 11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have access in boldness and confidence through faith in him.[d](D) 13 I pray, therefore, that you[e] may not lose heart over my sufferings for you; they are your glory.
