Ephesians 3:1-6

WYC

NIV

1 For the grace of this thing I Paul, the bound of Christ Jesus [the bound of Jesus Christ], for you heathen men,
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 if nevertheless ye have heard the dispensation of God's grace, that is given to me in you.
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3 For by revelation the sacrament is made known to me, as I above wrote in short thing,
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4 as ye be able to read, and understand my prudence in the mystery of Christ. [as ye reading may understand my prudence 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 was not known to other generations to the sons of men, as it is now showed 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 that heathen men be even-heirs, and of one body, and partners together of his promise [and together partners of his promise] in Christ Jesus by the evangel;
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.
