Ephesians 3:5 in context

The verses around it, from Ephesians 3.

1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...

2 Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

5 which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.

8 Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

9 and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
