But what if God, willing to demonstrate his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the objects of wrath prepared for destruction?

Pray for me also, that I may be given the message when I begin to speak – that I may confidently make known the mystery of the gospel,

God wanted to make known to them the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
