Ephesians 3

Haweis^{(i) 1} FOR this cause [am] I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, ² if so be, that ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you: ³ that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote unto you before briefly; ⁴ wherein when ye read, ye may be able to perceive my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel: ⁷ of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given unto me by the effectual working of his power. ⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; ⁹ and to make all men see what the communication of that mystery means, which was hid from the beginning in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: ¹⁰ that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions, the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church, ¹¹ according to the purpose from everlasting, which he formed in Christ Jesus our Lord: ¹² in whom we have boldness and access with confidence to God by the faith of him. ¹³ Wherefore I beseech you, that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. ¹⁴ For this end I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named; ¹⁶ that he would give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man; ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ ye may be strengthened to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth and length, and height and depth; ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, transcendently surpassing knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God. ²⁰ Now to him that is able to do above all things, exceeding abundantly, beyond what we ask or think, according to the power which effectually worketh in us; ²¹ to him be glory in the church, in Christ Jesus, unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.
