“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory — the mystery's content is astounding: 'Christ in you, the hope of glory' (Christos en hymin, he elpis tēs doxēs). The Gentiles (hoi ethne) are included in mystery-knowledge: this contradicts Jewish exclusivism. 'Riches of glory' (ploutos tēs doxēs) uses wealth-language for spiritual treasure. 'Hope of glory' (elpis tēs doxēs) anchors present Christ-indwelling to future transformation.
