Ephesians 3:9-13

and to enlighten all people as to what the plan of the mystery is which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things;

so that the multifaceted wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.

This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.

Therefore I ask you not to become discouraged about my tribulations in your behalf, since they are your glory.
