Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Yahushua the Messiah for you Gentiles,
2 Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the favour of YHWH which is given me to you-ward:
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of the Messiah)
5 which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
Which 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;
6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in the Messiah by the gospel:
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the favour of YHWH given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this favour given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah;
9 and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. (aiōn g165)
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in YHWH, who created all things by Yahushua the Messiah: (aiōn g165)
10 His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the assembly the manifold wisdom of YHWH,
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in the Messiah Yahushua our Master: (aiōn g165)
12 In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 ... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Master Yahushua the Messiah,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
That the Messiah may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
And to know the love of the Messiah, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of YHWH.
20 Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
