CHAP. III.

5 The hidden mysterie, 6 that the Gentiles should be saued, 3 was made knowen to Paul by reuelation: 8 And to him was that grace giuen, that 9 he should preach it. 13 He desireth them not to faint for his tribulation, 14 and praieth, 19 that they may perceiue the great loue of Christ toward them.

¹For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles,

²If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to youward:

³How that by reuelation hee made knowen vnto me the mysterie, (as I wrote afore in few words,³

⁴Whereby when ye reade, ye may vnderstand my knowledge in the mysterie of Christ.)

⁵Which in other ages was not made knowen vnto the sonnes of men, as it is now reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit,

⁶That the Gentiles should be fellow heires, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ, by the Gospel:

⁷Whereof I was made a Minister, according to the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto mee, by the effectuall working of his power.

⁸Unto mee, who am lesse then the least of all Saints, is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable riches of Christ,

⁹And to make all men see, what is the fellowship of the mysterie, which from the beginning of the world, hath bene hid in God, who created all things by Iesus Christ:

¹⁰To the intent that now vnto the principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the church, the manifold wisedome of God,

¹¹According to the eternall purpose which he purposed in Christ Iesus our Lord:

¹²In whom we haue boldnesse and accesse, with confidence, by the faith of him.
