Ephesians 3:1 Cross References - YLT

¹ For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,

¹² and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake;

³³ Then the chief captain, having come nigh, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he hath been doing,

¹⁸ He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the chief captain, and saith, `The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked me this young man to bring unto thee, having something to say to thee.'

²⁹ and Paul said, `I would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as I also am—except these bonds.'

¹⁷ And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: `Men, brethren, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans; ¹⁸ who, having examined me, were wishing to release me, because of their being no cause of death in me, ¹⁹ and the Jews having spoken against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar—not as having anything to accuse my nation of; ²⁰ for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'

¹ And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you—through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ—who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

²³ ministrants of Christ are they? —as beside myself I speak—I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

² lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

¹¹ And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;

¹³ wherefore, I ask you not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹ Call upon you, then, do I—the prisoner of the Lord—to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,

²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely—as it behoveth me to speak.

⁷ according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

¹³ so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places—all, ¹⁴ and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold—fearlessly to speak the word. ¹⁵ Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ; ¹⁶ the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,

²⁴ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,

³ praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,

¹⁸ The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace is with you. Amen.

¹⁵ who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men are contrary, ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them—to the end!

⁸ therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,

¹⁶ may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed,

⁹ in which I suffer evil—unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound; ¹⁰ because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that is in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during.

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,

⁹ because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

²³ Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,)

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.
