Hi Mel,
(Paul's Mission to the Gentiles)
v9- And to make all men see what it the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
(The verse is better read, "and to reveal what is the plan (arrangements) of the mystery, for it has been hidden for ages by God who created all things.The two reasons for which God gave Paul this grace(ability) are, to preach the gospel to Gentiles, and to disclose God's plan for implementing the Jew-Gentiles mystery in human history).
V10. Paul disclosure of this mystery teaches of God's wisdom. v11. reads as is......
v12---In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.(This verse affirms that Christians have boldness(freedom of speech before God)and access(the right of entering His presence) with confidence(assuring of being heard by God) by the faith of Him(through relying upon Christ to gain God's ear).
V13..means...Which is your glory: God will use Paul's tribulations and sufferings in the ministry to spiritually benefit his recipients. Such edification will then bring about glory on their part in that they praise and honor God.
God bless!
In Christain Love..Lois
