God told me to make clear to everyone how the mystery came about. In times past it was kept hidden in the mind of 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,

the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,

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—

So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:“ I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

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,

Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

“ Then the King will say to those on his right,‘ Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.

He said to them,“ Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast— all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

things known from long ago.

“ This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself,

if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Jesus gave them this answer:“ Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

I and the Father are one.”

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.

In his defense Jesus said to them,“ My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”

he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment— to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

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.

But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth— to every nation, tribe, language and people.

“ You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.

The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
