7. I became a servant of this Good News by the gift of God’s favor given to me through the exercise of His power.
8. This favor was given to me, the very least of His kedoshim, to proclaim to the Gentiles the endless riches of the Messiah
9. and to bring to light the plan of the mystery—which for ages was hidden in God, who created all things.
10. The purpose is that through Messiah’s community the multi-faceted wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places,
11. which is in keeping with the eternal purpose that He carried out in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
12. In Him we have boldness and access with confidence through trusting in Him.
13. So I ask you not to be discouraged by my troubles on your behalf—they are your glory.
14. For this reason I bow my knees before the Father—
15. from Him every family in heaven and on earth receives its name.
