8. Although I am the least of all the saints, I have been given this grace: to evangelize among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9. and to enlighten everyone concerning the dispensation of the mystery, hidden before the ages in God who created all things,
10. so that the manifold wisdom of God may become well-known to the principalities and powers in the heavens, through the Church,
11. according to that timeless purpose, which he has formed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12. In him we trust, and so we approach with confidence, through his faith.
13. Because of this, I ask you not to be weakened by my tribulations on your behalf; for this is your glory.
