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, 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.

To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in[a] God who created all things; 10 that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. 11 This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him. 13 So I ask you not to[b] lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
