Ephesians 3:2-11

New International Version

² Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me^(A) for you, ³ that is, the mystery^(B) made known to me by revelation,^(C) as I have already written briefly. ⁴ In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight^(D) into the mystery of Christ, ⁵ which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.^{(E) 6} This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs^(F) together with Israel, members together of one body,^(G) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.^(H)

⁷ I became a servant of this gospel^(I) by the gift of God’s grace given me^(J) through the working of his power.^{(K) 8} Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,^(L) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles^(M) the boundless riches of Christ,^{(N) 9} and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery,^(O) which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. ¹⁰ His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God^(P) should be made known^(Q) to the rulers and authorities^(R) in the heavenly realms,^{(S) 11} according to his eternal purpose^(T) that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
