Ephesians 3:8

[A few years earlier, when Paul wrote 1 Cor. to Ephesus, he called himself the least of the apostles, see 1 Cor. 15:9. Now he refers to himself as the least of the saints – the believers. A few years later, in the mid-60s AD, he calls himself "the foremost of sinners," see 1 Tim 1:15.]
To me – the least of the least among all the saints [God's people] – was given this grace (favor) [privilege] to
preach the gospel (proclaim the good news; evangelize) to the Gentiles
about the unfathomable (inscrutable, incomprehensible) riches of the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) [Job 5:9; 9:10]
