1. So I, Paul, am a prisoner of Christ Jesus. I am a prisoner for you who are not Jews.
2. Surely you know that God gave me this work to tell you about his grace.
3. God let me know his secret plan. He showed it to me. I have already written a little about this.
4. And if you read what I wrote, then you can see that I truly understand the secret truth about the Christ.
5. People who lived in other times were not told that secret truth. But now, through the Spirit, God has shown that secret truth to his holy apostles and prophets.
