by revelation the divine secret
was made known to me, as I wrote before briefly.
3:4 When reading this,
you will be able to
understand my insight into this secret
of Christ.
3:5 Now this secret
was not disclosed to people
in former
generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by
the Spirit,
3:6 namely, that through the gospel
the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members
of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
3:7 I became a servant of this gospel
according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by
the exercise of his power.

– this grace was given,
to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ
