²⁵ Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal,

⁹ making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

⁷ but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, `even' the `wisdom' that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

⁷ Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.

³⁵ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

³² And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build `you' up, and to give `you' the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

³ how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,

⁴ whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

⁵ which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

⁹ and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;

²⁶ `even' the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,

²⁷ to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

¹⁴ whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

³ But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil `one'.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that `should come' unto you:

¹¹ searching what `time' or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.

¹² To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angel desire to look into.

²⁰ who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of times for your sake,

²⁴ Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,

²⁵ to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, `be' glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen.

² in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;

⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:

²² he revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

¹⁷ For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

²³ And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed `are' the eyes which see the things that ye see:

²⁴ for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

²⁰ And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

⁴ Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.

²³ but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;

¹ And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

² For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

¹ Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

³ And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:

² And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.

¹¹ according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

²¹ unto him `be' the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁹ And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

¹³ to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹⁷ comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

⁹ who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

² I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
