I. The Wisdom / Mystery of God / Christ - the same thing For this cause (Eph.2:1-22) I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation (Gal.1:11-12) He (Jesus) made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, (all Paul's epistles) ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages (generations under the Old Covenant) was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed (in the New Testament) unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, (of Christ) which from the beginning (John.1:1-14) of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Eph.3:1-12)
