Ephesians 3

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,—

if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,

if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;

how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,

by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

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,

which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

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,

to wit, that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

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.

whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,

and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;

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,

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

according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

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

Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

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

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,

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

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

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

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

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

and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

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,

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,

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

unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.
