Galatians 2:9

9 and recognizing athe grace that had been given to me, bJames and cCephas and 1John, who were dreputed to be epillars, gave to me and fBarnabas the gright 2hand of fellowship, so that we might hgo to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

Ephesians 3:1-12


The Mystery of Christ Revealed

For this reason I, Paul, athe prisoner of bChrist Jesus con behalf of you dGentiles—
2 if indeed you heard of the astewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you; 3 athat bby revelation there was cmade known to me dthe mystery, eas I wrote before in brief. 4 About which, when you read you can understand amy insight 1into the bmystery of Christ, 5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy aapostles and prophets 1in the Spirit: 6 that the Gentiles are afellow heirs and bfellow members of the body, and cfellow partakers of the promise in dChrist Jesus through the gospel, 7 aof which I was made a bminister, according to the gift of cGod’s grace which was given to me daccording to the working of His power. 8 To me, athe very least of all 1saints, this grace was given, to bproclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unfathomable criches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the amystery which for ages has been bhidden in God cwho created all things; 10 so that the manifold awisdom of God might now be bmade known through the church to the crulers and the authorities in dthe heavenly places. 11 This was in aaccordance with the 1eternal purpose which He 2carried out in bChrist Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and 1aconfident baccess through faith 2in Him.

Colossians 1:23

23 if indeed you continue in 1the faith firmly agrounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the bhope of the gospel, which you have heard, which was proclaimed cin all creation under heaven, dand of which I, Paul, 2was made a 3eminister.
