NIV

1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, pray to God.
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard that God in his grace has given me this work to do for your good.
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3 God revealed his secret plan and made it known to me. (I have written briefly about this,
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4 and if you will read what I have written, you can learn about my understanding of the secret of Christ.)
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 In past times human beings were not told this secret, but God has revealed it now by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.
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 The secret is that by means of the gospel the Gentiles have a part with the Jews in God's blessings; they are members of the same body and share in the promise that God made through Christ Jesus.
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.
