John 18:20 (NASB)
Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.
Romans 16:25 (NASB)
Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,
1 Corinthians 2:7 (NASB)
but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory;
Ephesians 3:4 (NASB)
And by referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Ephesians 3:8-10 (NASB)
To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things; in order that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:19 (NASB)
and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
Colossians 1:25-29 (NASB)
Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,26 that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been manifested to His saints,27 to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.28 And we proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ.29 And for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.
