Ephesians 3:1-6

NCV

NIV

1 So I, Paul, am a prisoner of Christ Jesus for you who are not Jews.
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard that God gave me this work through his grace to help you.
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3 He let me know his secret by showing it to me. I have already written a little about this.
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4 If you read what I wrote then, you can see that I truly understand the secret about the Christ.
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 People who lived in other times were not told that secret. But now, through the Spirit, God has shown that secret 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 This is that secret: that through the Good News those who are not Jews will share with the Jews in God's blessing. They belong to the same body, and they share together in the promise that God made in 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.
