Ephesians 3
1 FOR this cause am I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 if so be, that ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you:
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote unto you before briefly;
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 wherein when ye read, ye may be able to perceive my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit—
6 that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel:
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
7 of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
of which I became a servant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power;
8 To 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;
to me—the less than the least of all the holy ones—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ,
9 and to make all men see what the communication of that mystery means, which was hid from the beginning in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (aiōn g165)
and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that has been hid from the ages in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
10 that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions, the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church,
that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the Assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,
according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence to God by the faith of him.
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 Wherefore 1 beseech you, that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this end 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 of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named;
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 that he would give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man;
that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened through His Spirit with might, in regard to the inner man,
17 that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that rooted and grounded in love,
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 ye may be strengthened to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth and length, and height and depth;
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 and to know the love of Christ, transcendently surpassing knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God.
to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that you may be filled—to all the fullness of God;
20 Now to him that is able to do above all things, exceeding abundantly, beyond what we ask or think, according to the power which effectually worketh in us;
and to Him who is able to do exceedingly [and] abundantly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,
