Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
τουτου χαριν εγω παυλος ο δεσμιος του χριστου ιησου υπερ υμων των εθνων
2 Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
ειγε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν της χαριτος του θεου της δοθεισης μοι εις υμας
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
οτι κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισεν μοι το μυστηριον καθως προεγραψα εν ολιγω
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
προς ο δυνασθε αναγινωσκοντες νοησαι την συνεσιν μου εν τω μυστηριω του χριστου
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.
ο εν ετεραις γενεαις ουκ εγνωρισθη τοις υιοις των ανθρωπων ως νυν απεκαλυφθη τοις αγιοις αποστολοις αυτου και προφηταις εν πνευματι
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.
ειναι τα εθνη συγκληρονομα και συσσωμα και συμμετοχα της επαγγελιας αυτου εν τω χριστω δια του ευαγγελιου
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
ου εγενομην διακονος κατα την δωρεαν της χαριτος του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι κατα την ενεργειαν της δυναμεως αυτου
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,
εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων των αγιων εδοθη η χαρις αυτη εν τοις εθνεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι τον ανεξιχνιαστον πλουτον του χριστου
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)
και φωτισαι παντας τις η κοινωνια του μυστηριου του αποκεκρυμμενου απο των αιωνων εν τω θεω τω τα παντα κτισαντι δια ιησου χριστου (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,
ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταις αρχαις και ταις εξουσιαις εν τοις επουρανιοις δια της εκκλησιας η πολυποικιλος σοφια του θεου
κατα προθεσιν των αιωνων ην εποιησεν εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων (aiōn g165)
12 In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και την προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια της πιστεως αυτου
13 So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
διο αιτουμαι μη εκκακειν εν ταις θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων ητις εστιν δοξα υμων
14 ... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
τουτου χαριν καμπτω τα γονατα μου προς τον πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοις και επι γης ονομαζεται
16 I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
ινα δωη υμιν κατα τον πλουτον της δοξης αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματος αυτου εις τον εσω ανθρωπον
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια της πιστεως εν ταις καρδιαις υμων εν αγαπη ερριζωμενοι και τεθεμελιωμενοι
18 will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
ινα εξισχυσητε καταλαβεσθαι συν πασιν τοις αγιοις τι το πλατος και μηκος και βαθος και υψος
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.
γνωναι τε την υπερβαλλουσαν της γνωσεως αγαπην του χριστου ινα πληρωθητε εις παν το πληρωμα του θεου
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,
τω δε δυναμενω υπερ παντα ποιησαι υπερ εκ περισσου ων αιτουμεθα η νοουμεν κατα την δυναμιν την ενεργουμενην εν ημιν
