1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2 If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

3 How that by revelation he made known to me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,

4 Whereby when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5 Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.
