Eph 3:1-7

Commission to Preach God’s Plan.^* 1Because of this,^a I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ^* [Jesus] for you Gentiles— 2if, as I suppose, you have heard of the stewardship^* of God’s grace that was given to me for your benefit,^b 3[namely, that] the mystery^* was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly earlier.^c 4When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5which was not made known to human beings in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,^d 6that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.^e

7Of this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power.^f
