| Eph. 3:1 |
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you, the Gentiles-- |
| Eph. 3:2 |
If indeed you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God which was given to me for you, |
| Eph. 3:3 |
That by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I have written previously in brief, |
| Eph. 3:4 |
By which, in reading [it,] you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ, |
| Eph. 3:5 |
Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in spirit, |
| Eph. 3:6 |
That in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the Body and fellow partakers of the promise through the gospel, |
| Eph. 3:7 |
Of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God which was given to me according to the operation of His power. |
| Eph. 3:8 |
To me, less than the least of all saints, was this grace given to announce to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospel |
| Eph. 3:9 |
And to enlighten all [that they may see] what the economy of the mystery is, which throughout the ages has been hidden in God, who created all things, |
| Eph. 3:10 |
In order that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenlies the multifarious wisdom of God might be made known through the church, |
| Eph. 3:11 |
According to the eternal purpose which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, |
| Eph. 3:12 |
In whom we have boldness and access in confidence through faith in Him. |
| Eph. 3:13 |
Therefore I ask [you] not to faint at my afflictions for your sake, since they are your glory. |
| Eph. 3:14 |
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, |
| Eph. 3:15 |
Of whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named, |
| Eph. 3:16 |
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man, |
| Eph. 3:17 |
That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love, |
| Eph. 3:18 |
May be full of strength to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are |
| Eph. 3:19 |
And to know the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God. |
| Eph. 3:20 |
But to Him who is able to do superabundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power which operates in us, |
| Eph. 3:21 |
To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all the generations forever and ever. Amen. |
