Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
For this cause I Paul am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you Gentiles:
2 since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,
as ye have heard the dispensation of the grace of God, which was given me to preach unto you:
3 that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.
that by immediate revelation He made known to me the mystery, (as I wrote before in brief, by which,
4 With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,
when ye read it, ye may perceive my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, )
5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.
which in other generations was not made known to men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be co-heirs,
6 For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good news.
and of the same body, and joint-partakers of his promise in Christ, by the gospel:
7 Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power.
of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God conferred on me by the effectual operation of his power.
8 To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,
On me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace bestowed, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ. (aiōn g165)
and make all men to see the communication of the mystery, which from the ages past hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ; (aiōn g165)
10 So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,
that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions;
according to the ancient purpose, which He executed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.
by whom we have freedom and access with confidence through faith in Him.
13 Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.
Wherefore I desire that ye would not be discouraged at my afflictions on your account, which is your glory.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 from whom every patriarchy in heavens and on earth is named.
from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 So that he would grant you, according to the wealth of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit for the inner man,
that He would grant you, according to his glorious riches, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit, as to the inner man;
17 for the Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith: and be ye rooted and grounded in love,
18 having been rooted and grounded in love, so that ye may be able to grasp with all the sanctified what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
that ye may be able, with all the saints, to comprehend what is the breadth, and length, and depth,
19 and to become aware of the love of the Christ, which transcends knowledge, so that ye may be filled in all the fullness of God.
and height, and to know the love of Christ, which surpasseth knowledge; that ye may be filled according to the abundant fulness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do above extraordinary-above all things that we ask or think-according to the power that works in us,
Now to Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power operating in us,
