My
highlighted verses: Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish
you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since
the world began,
26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according
to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for
the obedience of faith:
27
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written
to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at
Cenchrea.
According to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Ephesians 3:1
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have
heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that
by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few
words,
4 Whereby,
when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in
other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed
unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the
Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of
his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 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.
8 Unto me,
who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should
preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make
all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning
of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the
intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might
be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According
to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom
we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him
13 Wherefore
I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this
cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom
the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he
would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened
with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ
may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love,
18 May be
able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and
depth, and height;
19 And to
know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled
with all the fulness of God.
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 glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without
end. Amen.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
