For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
WherebyG4314+G3739, when ye readG314, ye mayG1410 understandG3539 myG3450 knowledgeG4907 inG1722 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547)
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 boldnessG3954 andG2532 accessG4318 withG1722 confidenceG4006 byG1223 the faithG4102 of himG846.
WhereforeG1352 I desireG154 that ye faintG1573 notG3361 atG1722 myG3450 tribulationsG2347 forG5228 youG5216, whichG3748 isG2076 yourG5216 gloryG1391.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 I bowG2578 myG3450 kneesG1119 untoG4314 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
OfG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 familyG3965 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1909+G1093 is namedG3687,
ThatG2443 he would grantG1325 youG5213, according toG2596 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with mightG1411 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 inG1519 the innerG2080 manG444;
That ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 byG1223 faithG4102; thatG2443 ye, being rootedG4492 andG2532 groundedG2311 inG1722 loveG26,
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to doG4160 exceedingG5228 abundantlyG1537+G4053 aboveG5228 allG3956 thatG3739 we askG154 orG2228 thinkG3539, according toG2596 the powerG1411 that workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254,
Unto himG846 be gloryG1391 inG1722 the churchG1577 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughoutG1519 allG3956 agesG1074, worldG165 without endG165. AmenG281.

He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
HowbeitG1161 we speakG2980 wisdomG4678 amongG1722 them that are perfectG5046: yetG1161 notG3756 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG165, norG3761 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165, that come to noughtG2673:
ThisG5124 isG2076 a greatG3173 mysteryG3466: butG1161 IG1473 speakG3004 concerningG1519 ChristG5547 andG1519+G2532 the churchG1577.
ButG235 we speakG2980 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 inG1722 a mysteryG3466, even the hiddenG613 wisdom, whichG3739 GodG2316 ordainedG4309 beforeG4253 the worldG165 untoG1519 ourG2257 gloryG1391:
AndG2532 forG5228 meG1700, thatG2443 utteranceG3056 may be givenG1325 unto meG3427, that I may openG1722+G457 myG3450 mouthG4750 boldlyG1722+G3954, to make knownG1107 the mysteryG3466 of the gospelG2098,
AndG2532 thoughG1437 I haveG2192 the gift of prophecyG4394, andG2532 understandG1492 allG3956 mysteriesG3466, andG2532 allG3956 knowledgeG1108; andG2532 thoughG1437 I haveG2192 allG3956 faithG4102, soG5620 that I could removeG3179 mountainsG3735, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 charityG26, I amG1510 nothingG3762.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400, I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097 of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071 to allG3956 peopleG2992.
ButG1161 thoughG1499 I be rudeG2399 in speechG3056, yetG235 notG3756 in knowledgeG1108; butG235 we have been throughlyG1722+G3956 made manifestG5319 amongG1519 youG5209 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
ForG3754 unto youG5213 is bornG5088 this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 the LordG2962.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, Unto youG5213 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: butG1161 to othersG3062 inG1722 parablesG3850; thatG2443 seeingG991 they mightG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 hearingG191 they mightG4920 notG3361 understandG4920.
LetG3049 a manG444 soG3779 accountG3049 of usG2248, asG5613 of the ministersG5257 of ChristG5547, andG2532 stewardsG3623 of the mysteriesG3466 of GodG2316.
ThatG2443 theirG846 heartsG2588 might be comfortedG3870, being knit togetherG4822 inG1722 loveG26, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 richesG4149 of the full assuranceG4136 of understandingG4907, toG1519 the acknowledgementG1922 of the mysteryG3466 of GodG2316, andG2532 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of ChristG5547;
WithalG260 prayingG4336 alsoG2532 forG4012 usG2257, thatG2443 GodG2316 would openG455 unto usG2254 a doorG2374 of utteranceG3056, to speakG2980 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547, forG1223 whichG3739 I amG1210 alsoG2532 in bondsG1210:
AndG2532 without controversyG3672 greatG3173 isG2076 the mysteryG3466 of godlinessG2150: GodG2316 was manifestG5319 inG1722 the fleshG4561, justifiedG1344 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, seenG3700 of angelsG32, preachedG2784 untoG1722 the GentilesG1484, believed onG4100 inG1722 the worldG2889, received upG353 intoG1722 gloryG1391.
