“To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,”
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms — the ecclesia ('church') itself becomes the vehicle of divine disclosure: hina gnōristhē ('that might be made known') the polypoikilos sophia ('manifold wisdom,' variegated, colorful wisdom) theou ('of God') to archē kai exousiai ('rulers and authorities') in the heavenlies, a cosmic declaration to spiritual powers.
