Bible: Eph 3:2-12
3:2 if indeed 1 you have heard of the stewardship 2 of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3:3 that 3 by revelation the divine secret 4 was made known to me, as I wrote before briefly. 5 3:4 When reading this, 6 you will be able to 7 understand my insight into this secret 8 of Christ. 3:5 Now this secret 9 was not disclosed to people 10 in former 11 generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by 12 the Spirit, 3:6 namely, that through the gospel 13 the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members 14 of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus. 3:7 I became a servant of this gospel 15 according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by 16 the exercise of his power. 17 3:8 To me – less than the least of all the saints 18 – this grace was given, 19 to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ 3:9 and to enlighten 20 everyone about God’s secret plan 21 – a secret that has been hidden for ages 22 in God 23 who has created all things. 3:10 The purpose of this enlightenment is that 24 through the church the multifaceted wisdom 25 of God should now be disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms. 3:11 This was according to 26 the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 3:12 in whom we have boldness and confident access 27 to God 28 because of 29 Christ’s 30 faithfulness. 31
