⁷ I became a servant of this gospel^(A) by the gift of God’s grace given me^(B) through the working of his power.^{(C) 8} Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,^(D) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles^(E) the boundless riches of Christ,^{(F) 9} and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery,^(G) which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. ¹⁰ His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God^(H) should be made known^(I) to the rulers and authorities^(J) in the heavenly realms,^{(K) 11} according to his eternal purpose^(L) that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. ¹² In him and through faith in him we may approach God^(M) with freedom and confidence.^{(N) 13} I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
