CHAPTER 3
which
was not made known
to men
in other
generations
as
it has now been revealed
by
the Spirit
to
God’s
holy
apostles
and
prophets.
This mystery is that through
the
gospel
the
Gentiles
are
fellow heirs,
fellow members of the body,
and
fellow partakers
of the
promise
in
Christ
Jesus.
I became
a servant
of this gospel
by
the
gift
of God’s
grace,
given
me
through
the
working
of
His
power.
Though I am
less than the least
of all
the saints,
this
grace
was given
me:
to preach
to the
Gentiles
the
unsearchable
riches
of Christ,
and
to illuminate
for everyone
the
stewardship
of this
mystery,
which
for
ages past
was hidden
in
God,
who
created
all things.
His purpose was that
now,
through
the
church,
the
manifold
wisdom
of God
should be made known
to the
rulers
and
authorities
in
the
heavenly realms,
I pray that
out of
the
riches
of
His
glory
He may
strengthen
you
with power
through
His
Spirit
in
your
inner
being,
so that
Christ
may dwell
in
your
hearts
through
faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted
and
grounded
in
love,
may have power,
together with
all
the
saints,
to comprehend
the
length
and
width
and
height
and
depth of His love,
and
to know
the
love
of Christ
that surpasses
knowledge,
that
you may be filled
with
all
the
fullness
of God.
Now
to Him who
is able
to do
infinitely
more than
all
we ask
or
imagine,
according to
His
power
that
is at work
within
us,
to Him be
the
glory
in
the
church
and
in
Christ
Jesus
throughout
all
generations,
forever
and
ever.
Amen.
