Ephesians 3:5-9

5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
6 This mystery is[a] that the Gentiles are 1fellow heirs, 2members of the same body, and 3partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
7 4Of this gospel I was made 5a minister according to the gift of 6God's grace, which was given me 7by the working of his power.
8 To me, 8though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, 9to preach to the Gentiles the 10unsearchable 11riches of Christ,
9 and 12to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery 13hidden for ages in[b] God 14who created all things,
