1. So I, Paul, am a prisoner because I serve Christ Jesus for you who are not Jews.
2. Surely you know that God gave me this work through his grace to help you.
3. God let me know his secret plan by showing it to me. I have already written a little about this.
4. And if you read what I wrote, you can see that I understand the secret truth about Christ.
5. People who lived in other times were not told that secret truth. But now, through the Spirit, God has made it known to his holy apostles and prophets.
6. And this is the secret truth: that by hearing the Good News, those who are not Jews will share with the Jews in the blessings God has for his people. They are part of the same body, and they share in the promise God made through Christ Jesus.
7. By God’s special gift of grace, I became a servant to tell that Good News. He gave me that grace by using his power.
