5 In past generations it was not made known to mankind, as the Spirit is now revealing it to his emissaries and prophets,

6 that in union with the Messiah and through the Good News the Gentiles were to be joint heirs, a joint body and joint sharers with the Jews in what God has promised.

7 I became a servant of this Good News by God’s gracious gift, which he gave me through the operation of his power.
