Ephesians 3 Bible text

KJV: 1KJV

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

KJV: 2KJV

If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

KJV: 3KJV

How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

KJV: 4KJV

Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

KJV: 5KJV

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

KJV: 6KJV

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

KJV: 7KJV

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

KJV: 8KJV

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

KJV: 9KJV

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

KJV: 10KJV

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

KJV: 11KJV

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

KJV: 12KJV

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

KJV: 13KJV

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

KJV: 14KJV

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

KJV: 15KJV

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

KJV: 16KJV

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

KJV: 17KJV

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

KJV: 18KJV

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

KJV: 19KJV

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

KJV: 20KJV

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

KJV: 21KJV

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
