NET Bible
"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."
— Ephesians 3:7, NET Bible
“Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.”
“whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. ”
“of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.”
“Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power.”
“Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.”
“Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.”
When reading this, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ
(which was not disclosed to people in former generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit),
namely, that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
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.
To me– less than the least of all the saints– this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ
and to enlighten everyone about God’s secret plan– the mystery that has been hidden for ages in God who has created all things.
The purpose of this enlightenment is that through the church the multifaceted wisdom of God should now be disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms.
