Ephesians 3

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

²If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you:

³How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words:

⁴As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,

⁵Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit:

⁶That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body: and copartners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel

⁷Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power.

⁸To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ:

⁹And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things:

¹⁰That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,

¹¹According to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

¹³Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹⁴For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁵Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named:

¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man:

¹⁷That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity,

¹⁸You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

¹⁹To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

²⁰Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us:

²¹To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations, world without end. Amen.

Ephesians 3

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

²If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

³How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

⁴Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

⁵Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

⁶That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

⁷Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

⁸Unto 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;

⁹And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

¹⁰To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

¹¹According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

¹³Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹⁴For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁵Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁷That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹⁸May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

¹⁹And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

²⁰Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

²¹Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
