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