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 Messiah Yeshua on behalf of you Gentiles,
2 if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me towards you,
3 that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words] —
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 in regard to which ye are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Messiah,
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 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 nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
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 of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the 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 to me — the less than the least of all the saints — was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news — the untraceable riches of the 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 cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create 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 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 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 the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,
In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 wherefore, I ask [you] not to faint in 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 the heavens and on earth is named,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to 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 the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,
that Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the 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 to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled — to 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 and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working 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,
