Ephesians 3

1For this reason I PaulG3972, prisonerG1198 of the ChristG5547 JesusG2424 for you nationsG1484, 2(if indeedG1065 ye have heardG191 of the administrationG3622 of the graceG5485 of 1GodG2316 which has been givenG1325 to me towards you, 3that by revelationG602 the mysteryG3466 has been madeG1107 known to me, (accordingG2596 as I have written before briefly, 4by which, in readingG314 it, ye can understandG3539 my intelligence in the mysteryG3466 of the ChristG5547,) 5which in otherG2087 generationsG1074 has not been madeG1107 known to the sonsG5207 of menG444, as it has nowG3568 been revealedG601 to his holyG40 apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396 in [the power of the] SpiritG4151, 6that [they who areG1510 of] the nationsG1484 should beG1510 joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promiseG1860 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 by the glad tidings; 7of which I am becomeG1096 ministerG1249 accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of 2GodG2316 givenG1325 to me, accordingG2596 to the workingG1753 of his powerG1411. 8To me, less than the leastG1646 of all saintsG40, has this graceG5485 been givenG1325, to announce among the nationsG1484 the glad tidings of the unsearchable richesG4149 of the ChristG5547, 9and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administrationG3622 of the mysteryG3466 hidden throughout the agesG165 in 3GodG2316, who has created all thingsG3956, 10in orderG2443 that nowG3568 to the principalities and authoritiesG1849 in the heavenlies might be madeG1107 known through the assemblyG1577 the all-various wisdomG4678 of 4GodG2316, 11accordingG2596 to [the] purposeG4286 of the agesG165, which he purposed in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, 12in whom we have boldnessG3954 and accessG4318 in confidenceG3954 by the faithG4102 of him. 13Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulationsG2347 for you, which isG1510 your gloryG1391. 14For this reason I bowG2578 my kneesG1119 to the FatherG3962 [of our Lord Jesus Christ], 15of whom every familyG3965 in [the] heavensG3772 and on earthG1093 is named, 16in orderG2443 that he may giveG1325 you accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of his gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with powerG1411 by his SpiritG4151 in the innerG2080 manG444; 17that the ChristG5547 may dwellG2730, through faithG4102, in your heartsG2588, being rooted and foundedG2311 in loveG26, 18in orderG2443 that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saintsG40 what [is] the breadthG4114 and lengthG3372 and depthG899 and heightG5311; 19and to knowG1097 the loveG26 of the ChristG5547 which surpassesG5235 knowledgeG1108; that ye may be filledG4137 [even] to all the fulness of 5GodG2316. 20But to him that is ableG1410 to do far exceedingly above all which we askG154 or think, accordingG2596 to the powerG1411 which worksG1754 in us, 21to him be gloryG1391 in the assemblyG1577 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 unto all generationsG1074 of the ageG165 of agesG165. AmenG281).
