Ephesians 3 deals with the revelation of God's mystery in relation to the salvation of the Gentiles, which were previously considered excluded. The apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of God's grace in this revelation and the need to preach it to all. Moreover, he highlights the importance of prayer and love of Christ, which goes beyond all understanding. Following are five verses related to these themes:

Acts 22:21: "But he said to me, Go, because I will send you to the Gentiles from afar." This verse shows God's intention to include the Gentiles in salvation, which is the mystery revealed in Ephesians 3.

Romans 16:25-27: "Now, to the one who is powerful to confirm to you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that has been hidden from eternal times, but who has manifested now and has become manifest for Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, to all nations for obedience of faith. " This verse talks about the revelation of the mystery that was once hidden and is now manifest, as in Ephesians 3.

Colossians 4:2-3: "Perseverate in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving; pray for us also, that God may open us to the Word, to speak of the mystery of Christ, for which I am also arrested." This verse highlights the importance of prayer, as well as in Ephesians 3, and also the need to preach the mystery of Christ.

John 13:34: "A new commandment gives you, Let you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." This verse highlights the love of Christ, which goes beyond all understanding, as in Ephesians 3.

1 John 4:11-12: "Beloved, if God so loved us, we must love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love each other, God is in us, and in us it is perfect yours love." This verse talks about the importance of love, which is a theme present in Ephesians 3, and also highlights God's presence in us when we love each other.
