Ephesians 3:4 |
Next Verse |
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Note 4 at Eph. 3:4: Paul states here that through reading his words, the mystery of the Gentiles and Jews being one body could be understood. It is through the reading of the Word and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit that Christ in His fullness is known. What a privilege it is today to have God's Word in our own language. Six hundred years ago there was no English translation of the whole Bible. Thanks to the efforts of John Wyclif (1384) and William Tyndale (1523) we now can read and understand the writings of Paul for ourselves. Men gave their lives to bring us God's Word. We should take advantage of this wonderful privilege.
