Therefore also I, Paul, who for [the sake of] Jesus Christ is in gaol on behalf of you that are of the nations ... 2 – if indeed you have heard about the oversight of the grace of God which was given me for your good, 3 how by revelation the mystery that told to me, as I wrote in brief [lit. shortly] previously. 4 Thus it is possible for you, reading my letter, to understand the insight that I have on the mystery of the Christ. 5 In former generations this mystery was not made known to the sons of men as now by spirit it has been made known to his holy apostles and to his heralds [= prophets]: 6 how people of the nations will be heirs and members and will have a part with us of the promise, in Jesus Christ, by the gospel. 7 I have been made a servant to this gospel by the grace of God, which has been given me by his power working in me.
