Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 3, World English Bible |
Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 3
{3:1} For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on
behalf of you Gentiles, {3:2} if it is so that you have heard of the
administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
{3:3} how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I
wrote before in few words, {3:4} by which, when you read, you can
perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; {3:5} which in
other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has
now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
{3:6} that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the
body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the
Good News, {3:7} 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. {3:8} To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace
given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
{3:9} and to make all men see what is the [1>]administration[<1] of
the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all
things through Jesus Christ; {3:10} 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, {3:11} according
to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
{3:12} in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our
faith in him. {3:13} Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my
troubles for you, which are your glory.
{3:14} For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, {3:15} from whom every family in heaven and on earth is
named, {3:16} that he would grant you, according to the riches of his
glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in
the inward man; {3:17} that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, {3:18}
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the
breadth and length and height and depth, {3:19} and to know Christ's
love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the
fullness of God. {3:20} 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, {3:21} to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ
Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
