ASV

NIV

1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,--
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3 how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4 whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
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.
6 [to wit], that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
