Ephesians 3:10
To the intent that ( ινα ). Final clause.Might be made known ( γνωρισθη ). First aorist passive subjunctive of γνωριζω with ινα. The mystery was made known to Paul (3:3) and now he wants it blazoned forth to all powers (Gnostic aeons or what not).
Through the church ( δια της εκκλησιας ). The wonderful body of Christ described in chapter Eph 2.
The manifold wisdom of God ( η πολυποικιλος σοφια του θεου ). Old and rare word, much-variegated, with many colours. Only here in N.T. Ποικιλος (variegated) is more common (Mt 4:24).
