27 G3739 ones to whom G2309 God wanted G3588 G2316 G1107 to make known G5100 what G3588 the G4149 wealth G3588 of the G1391 glory G3588 G3466 of this mystery G3778 G1722 is among G3588 the G1484 nations; G3739 which G1510.2.3 is G5547 Christ G1722 in G1473 you, G3588 the G1680 hope G3588 of the G1391 glory;
