1. For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2. If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me on your account.
3. That by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words;
4. By which when ye read, ye 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 joint-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel:
7. Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.
