Bible: Ephesians 3:8-13
3:8 To me – less than the least of all the saints 1 – this grace was given, 2 to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ 3:9 and to enlighten 3 everyone about God’s secret plan 4 – a secret that has been hidden for ages 5 in God 6 who has created all things. 3:10 The purpose of this enlightenment is that 7 through the church the multifaceted wisdom 8 of God should now be disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms. 3:11 This was according to 9 the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 3:12 in whom we have boldness and confident access 10 to God 11 because of 12 Christ’s 13 faithfulness. 14 3:13 For this reason I ask you 15 not to lose heart because of what I am suffering for you, 16 which 17 is your glory. 18
