FOR this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles -

2 If indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you.

3 How that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have written already,

4 By which you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ )   

5 Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostle and prophets.

6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

7 Of which, I became a minister accroding to gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

9 And to make all see what is the felowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

10 To the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalility and powers in the heavenly places,

11 According to the eternal purpose which th accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

12 In whom we have boldness and access with the confidence through faith in Him.

13 Therefore I ask that you do not loose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 From whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

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

18 May be able to comperhend with all the saints what the width and length and depth and height -

19 To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to power that work in us,

21 To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen EPHESIANS 3
