Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Messiah Yeshua on behalf of you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me towards you,
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Messiah,
5 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;
which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy emissaries and prophets in the Spirit,
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Messiah Yeshua through the Good News,
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 Unto 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 very least of all holy ones, was this grace given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Messiah,
9 And 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: (aiōn g165)
and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Yeshua the Messiah, (aiōn g165)
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
that Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the width and length and height and depth,
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
and to know Messiah’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 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,
Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
