Ephesians 3
1 For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
For this cause, I Paul am the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde,
3 that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes,
4 in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe mine vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ)
5 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—
Which in other ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit,
6 that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
That the Gentiles should be inheriters also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel,
7 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;
Whereof I am made a minister by the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto me through the effectuall working of his power.
8 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,
Euen vnto me the least of all Saints is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable riches of Christ,
9 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)
And to make cleare vnto all men what the fellowship of the mysterie is, which from the beginning of the world hath bene hid in God, who hath created all things by Iesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
10 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,
To the intent, that nowe vnto principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the Church the manifolde wisedome of God,
According to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesus our Lord: (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
By whom we haue boldenes and entrance with confidence, by faith in him.
13 for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for your sakes, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
15 of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
(Of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth)
16 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,
That he might graunt you according to the riches of his glorie, that ye may be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man,
17 that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
That Christ may dwell in your heartes by faith:
18 that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
That ye, being rooted and grounded in loue, may be able to comprehend with al Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:
19 to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that you may be filled—to all the fullness of God;
And to knowe the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all fulnesse of God.
20 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,
Vnto him therefore that is able to do exceeding aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs,
