Ephesians 3

BLB^{(i) 1} For reason of this, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles... ² Surely you have heard of the administration of God’s grace, having been given to me toward you, ³ that He made known to me the mystery by revelation, just as I have written before in brief, ⁴ which, by reading, you are able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, ⁵ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as now it has been revealed in the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets, ⁶ that the Gentiles are joint-heirs, and a joint-body, and joint-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus, through the gospel, ⁷ of which I became servant according to the gift of God’s grace, having been given to me according to the working of His power. ⁸ To me, the very least of all saints, was given this grace: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ ⁹ and to enlighten all what is the administration of the mystery having been hidden from the ages in God, the One having created all things, ¹⁰ so that now through the church the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, ¹¹ according to the purpose of the ages, which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, ¹² in whom we have boldness and access in confidence, by faith in Him. ¹³ Therefore I implore you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. ¹⁴ ... for reason of this I bow my knees to the Father, ¹⁵ from whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named, ¹⁶ that He might give you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power by His Spirit in the inner man, ¹⁷ for Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith, being rooted and being founded in love, ¹⁸ so that you may be fully able, with all the saints, to comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, so that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God. ²⁰ Now to the One being able to do exceedingly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power working in us, ²¹ to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
