Paul’s Proclamation

2 When I came to you, brothers and sisters, announcing the mystery^[a] of God to you, I did not come with brilliance^(A) of speech^(B) or wisdom.

⁷ On the contrary, we speak God’s hidden wisdom in a mystery, a wisdom God predestined^(A) before the ages for our glory.^(B)

⁹ He made known to us the mystery of his will,^(A) according to his good pleasure that he purposed in Christ^(B)

³ The mystery was made known to me by revelation,^(A) as I have briefly written above.

⁹ and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created^(A) all things.

¹⁹ Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness^(A) the mystery of the gospel.

²⁶ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.
