Ephesians 3:9-21

9and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things,

10so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

11This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

12in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.

13So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

14For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

16that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

18may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

19and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,

21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
