1 This is why I, Paul, am a prisoner of Christ for you Gentiles.
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 You've heard, of course, about the responsibility to distribute God's grace, which God gave to me for you, right?
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3 God showed me his secret plan in a revelation, as I mentioned briefly before (
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4 when you read this, you'll understand my insight into the secret plan about Christ).
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 Earlier generations didn't know this hidden plan that God has now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets through 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 This plan is that the Gentiles would be coheirs and parts of the same body, and that they would share with the Jews in the promises of God 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.
