And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

Benediction

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—

having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

The Mystery Revealed

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles—

how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

Purpose of the Mystery

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

Appreciation of the Mystery

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

The Great Mystery

These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly;

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
