“That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:”
This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus — the heart of the mystery (to mystērion itself): ta ethnē ('the Gentiles') are synkleronomoi ('co-heirs'), syssōma ('members of one body'), and symmetexa tēs epangelias ('sharers of the promise') in Christ, the stunning revelation that pagans are grafted into covenant blessing.
