Ephesians 3:1-6

BBE

NIV

1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3 How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4 By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ;
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to 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 Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,
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.
