The secret made known
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles — if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace given to me for you, how by revelation he made the mystery known to me, as I wrote earlier in a few words. When you read that, you will be able to see my understanding of the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the people as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that the Gentiles should be heirs together, members of the same body, and sharers together in his promise in Christ through the gospel. I was made a servant of that gospel by the gift of God's grace given to me through the working of his power. To me, less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given: to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make everyone see how this mystery is shared, which from the beginning of the world has been hidden in God, who created everything by Jesus Christ, so that now, through the church, the many-sided wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him we have boldness and confident access by the faith of him. So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you nations — if you've heard of the way the grace of God was handed to me for you. How that by showing he made known to me the secret (as I wrote before in few words). By which, when you read, you can understand my knowledge in the secret of Christ. Which in other ages wasn't made known to the sons of men, the way it's now shown to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. That the nations should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the good news. That I was made a servant of, according to the gift of the grace of God given me by the working of his power. To me, who am less than the least of all the holy ones, this grace is given — that I should preach among the nations the riches of Christ that can't be searched out. And to make all men see what the fellowship of the secret is, that from the start of the world has been hidden in God, who created everything by Jesus Christ. So now to the rulers and powers in heavenly places could be known by the church the many-sided wisdom of God. According to the everlasting purpose that he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him we've got boldness and a way in with confidence by the faith of him. So I want you not to faint at my troubles for you, which is your glory.
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Paul's prayer

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, through all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
