4. In reading this, then, you are able to understand my insight into the secret of Messiah,
5. which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His set-apart emissaries and prophets:
6. The gentiles to be co-heirs, united in the same body, and partakers together in the promise in Messiah through the Good News,
7. of which I became a servant according to the gift of the favour of Elohim given to me, according to the working of His power.
8. To me, the very least of all the set-apart ones, this favour was given, to bring the Good News of the unsearchable riches of Messiah among the gentiles,
9. and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim who created all through יהושע Messiah,
10. so that now, through the assembly, the many-sided wisdom of Elohim might be known to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies,
11. according to the everlasting purpose which He made in Messiah יהושע our Master,
12. in whom we have boldness and access, with reliance, through belief in Him.
13. I pray therefore, that you do not lose heart at my pressures on your behalf, which is your esteem.
14. For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Master יהושע Messiah,
15. from whom all fatherhood in the heavens and earth is named,
16. in order that He might give you, according to the riches of His esteem by power, to be strengthened in the inner man, through His Spirit,
