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 generations 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.
