1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,--
2 If so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;
3 How that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 Which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
6 `to wit', that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly `places' might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,
