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.

Ephesians 3

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

²(if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace ofGod which has been given to me towards you,

³that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,

⁴by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,)

⁵which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,

⁶that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;

⁷of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace ofGod given to me, according to the working of his power.

⁸To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

⁹and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages inGod, who has created all things,

¹⁰in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom ofGod,

¹¹according to [the] purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

¹³Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

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

¹⁵of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,

¹⁶in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁷that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,

¹⁸in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;

¹⁹and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness ofGod.

²⁰But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,

²¹to him be glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all generations of the age of ages. Amen).
