and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.

and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things,

I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.

and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.

and to enlighten all people as to what the plan of the mystery is which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things;

and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

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;

and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.

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:

and to enlighten everyone about God’s secret plan– a secret that has been hidden for ages in God who has created all things.

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,

That word contains the mystery that has been hidden for many ages. But now it has been made known to the Lord’s people.

You died. Now your life is hidden with Christ in God.

That belief and understanding lead to the hope of eternal life. Before time began, God promised to give that life. And he does not lie.

May God receive glory. He is able to strengthen your faith. He does this in keeping with the good news and the message I preach. It is the message about Jesus Christ. This message is in keeping with the mystery hidden for a very long time.The mystery has now been made known through the writings of the prophets. The eternal God commanded that it be made known. God wanted all the Gentiles to obey him by trusting in him.

So the words spoken by the prophet came true. He had said,“ I will open my mouth and tell stories. I will speak about things that were hidden since the world was made.”( Psalm 78:2)

God has saved us. He has chosen us to live a holy life. It wasn’t because of anything we have done. It was because of his own purpose and grace. Through Christ Jesus, God gave us this grace even before time began.

The person who builds a house has greater honor than the house itself. In the same way, Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses.Every house is built by someone. But God is the builder of everything.

“ Then the King will speak to those on his right. He will say,‘ My Father has blessed you. Come and take what is yours. It is the kingdom prepared for you since the world was created.

He was chosen before God created the world. But he came into the world for your sake in these last days.

So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

His followers will preach in his name. They will tell others to turn away from their sins and be forgiven. People from every nation will hear it, beginning at Jerusalem.

In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was with God in the beginning.All things were made through him. Nothing that has been made was made without him.

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight. What is whispered in your ear, shout from the rooftops.

He said to them,“ Go into all the world. Preach the good news to everyone.Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who does not believe will be punished.

No, we announce God’s wisdom. His wisdom is a mystery that has been hidden. But before time began, God planned that his wisdom would bring us heavenly glory.

Many people who live on the earth will worship the beast. They are the ones whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of life. The Lamb is the one whose death was planned before the world was created.

The Lord does things that have been known from long ago.

The Lord says,“ People of Israel, I set you free. I formed you when you were born as a nation.“ I am the Lord. I am the Maker of everything. I alone stretch out the heavens. I spread out the earth by myself.

But you must keep your faith steady and firm. You must not move away from the hope the good news holds out to you. This is the good news that you heard. It has been preached to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, now serve the good news.

Jesus answered,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. The Son can do nothing by himself. He can do only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.

I and the Father are one.”

There is no doubt that true godliness comes from this great mystery. Jesus came as a human being. The Holy Spirit proved that he was the Son of God. He was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations. People in the world believed in him. He was taken up to heaven in glory.

Jesus defended himself. He said to them,“ My Father is always doing his work. He is working right up to this day. I am working too.”

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.It will all come about when history has been completed. God will then bring together all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

I’m talking about the mystery God showed me. I have already written a little about it.By reading about this mystery, you will be able to understand what I know. You will know about the mystery of Christ.The mystery was not made known to people of other times. But now the Holy Spirit has made this mystery known to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

The Lord stood at my side. He gave me the strength to preach the whole message. Then all the Gentiles heard it. I was saved from the lion’s mouth.

God chose us to belong to Christ before the world was created. He chose us to be holy and without blame in his eyes. He loved us.

The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen. All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.

But in these last days, he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one whom God appointed to receive all things. God also made everything through him.The Son is the shining brightness of God’s glory. He is the exact likeness of God’s being. He uses his powerful word to hold all things together. He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven.

I saw another angel. He was flying high in the air. He came to tell everyone on earth the good news that will always be true. He told it to every nation, tribe and people, no matter what language they spoke.

“ You are worthy, our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You are worthy because you created all things. They were created and they exist. This is the way you planned it.”

Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you. That’s because God chose you as the first to be saved. Salvation comes through the Holy Spirit’s work. He makes people holy. It also comes through believing the truth.

The beast that you saw used to exist and now does not. Yet it will come up out of the Abyss and be destroyed. Some people on the earth will be amazed when they see the beast. Their names have not been written in the book of life from the time the world was created. They will be amazed at the beast. That’s because it will come again even though it used to exist and now does not.

All things were created in him. He created everything in heaven and on earth. He created everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. All things have been created by him and for him.Before anything was created, he was already there. He holds everything together.
