Ephesians 3

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

²If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde,

³That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes,

⁴Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe mine vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ)

⁵Which in other ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit,

⁶That the Gentiles should be inheriters also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel,

⁷Whereof I am made a minister by the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto me through the effectuall working of his power.

⁸Euen vnto me the least of all Saints is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable riches of Christ,

⁹And to make cleare vnto all men what the fellowship of the mysterie is, which from the beginning of the world hath bene hid in God, who hath created all things by Iesus Christ,

¹⁰To the intent, that nowe vnto principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the Church the manifolde wisedome of God,

¹¹According to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesus our Lord:

¹²By whom we haue boldenes and entrance with confidence, by faith in him.

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

¹⁴For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,

¹⁵(Of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth)

¹⁶That he might graunt you according to the riches of his glorie, that ye may be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man,

¹⁷That Christ may dwell in your heartes by faith:

¹⁸That ye, being rooted and grounded in loue, may be able to comprehend with al Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:

¹⁹And to knowe the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all fulnesse of God.

²⁰Vnto him therefore that is able to do exceeding aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs,

²¹Be praise in the Church by Christ Iesus, throughout all generations for euer, 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.
