he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

he showed us the mystery of his plan. It was in keeping with what he wanted to do. It was what he had planned through Christ.

making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ

God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ— which is to fulfill his own good plan.

He made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he purposed in Christ

He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He set forth in Him,

having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

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

He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure that He planned in Him

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

He did this when he revealed to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,

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

the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. (niv)

Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past,but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith—to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. (niv)

that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ,and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. (niv)

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, (niv)

He has saved us and called us to a holy life— not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, (niv)

according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (niv)

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (niv)

Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. (niv)

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, (niv)

I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. (niv)

to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. (niv)

these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. (niv)

When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. (niv)

Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? (niv)

He replied,“ Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. (niv)

This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. (niv)

They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. (niv)

But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. (niv)

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say,‘ My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far- off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do. (niv)

The Lord Almighty has sworn,“ Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations.For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? (niv)

“ But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? He does whatever he pleases.He carries out his decree against me, and many such plans he still has in store. (niv)

“ Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me,” declares the Lord. (niv)
