And Jesus said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them without, all is in similitudes:

And that ye, my brethren, may not be wise in your own apprehension, I wish you to know this mystery, that blindness of heart hath in some measure befallen Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall come in:

* Now unto God, who is able to establish you,- (according to my gospel, which is proclaimed concerning Jesus Messiah; and according to the revelation of the mystery, which was hidden from the times that are past,

And I, my Brethren, when I came to you, did not preach to you the mystery of God in magnificent speech, nor in wisdom.

But we speak the wisdom of God, in a mystery; the wisdom which was hidden, and which God predetermined before the world was, for our glory:

For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no one understandeth what is said; yet in the spirit, he speaketh a mystery.

Lo, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

And he hath made us know the mystery of his pleasure, which he had before determined in himself to accomplish,

that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, (as I have [fn] written to you in brief,

so that while ye read, ye might be able to understand my knowledge of the mystery of the Messiah,)

and should show to all men what is the dispensation of the mystery, which for ages was hid up in God the Creator of all [fn] :

This is a great mystery; but I am speaking of the Messiah, and of his church.

and also for me; that language may be given me, in the opening of my mouth; so that I may boldly proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

[namely,] that mystery, which was hidden for ages and generations, but is now revealed to his saints [fn] {namely,}

to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which [fn] is the Messiah; who in you is the hope of our glory;

that their hearts may be comforted, and that they, by love, may come to all the riches of assurance, and to the understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father, and of the Messiah,

And pray also for us, that God would open to us a door of speech, for uttering the mystery of the Messiah, for the sake of which I am in bonds;

For the mystery of the evil One already beginneth to be operative: and only, if that which now hindereth shall be taken from the midst;

but should hold the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.
