 Christ for you Gentiles,
1 Τούτου χάριν ἐγὼ Παῦλος ὁ δέσμιος τοῦ χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God
A ⟨his grace,⟩
 which is given me to you-ward:
2 εἴγε
WH εἴ γε
 ἠκούσατε τὴν οἰκονομίαν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς δοθείσης μοι εἰς ὑμᾶς,
3 How that by revelation he
ℵBA ⟨was⟩
 made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

5 Which in
ℵBA ⟨to⟩
 other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles
B ⟨saints⟩
 and prophets by the Spirit;
5 ὃ ἑτέραις γενεαῖς οὐκ ἐγνωρίσθη τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὡς νῦν ἀπεκαλύφθη τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀποστόλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ προφήταις ἐν πνεύματι·
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among

 the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height
B ⟨height, and depth⟩
