8To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:
9And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things;
10So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,
11Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.
13For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,
