BLA

MSG

1 Por esta causa yo, Pablo, prisionero de Cristo Jesús por amor de vosotros los gentiles
1 This is why I, Paul, am in jail for Christ, having taken up the cause of you outsiders, so-called.
2 (si en verdad habéis oído de la dispensación de la gracia de Dios que me fue dada para vosotros;
2 I take it that you're familiar with the part I was given in God's plan for including everybody.
3 que por revelación me fue dado a conocer el misterio, tal como antes os escribí brevemente.
3 I got the inside story on this from God himself, as I just wrote you in brief.
4 En vista de lo cual, leyendo, podréis comprender mi discernimiento del misterio de Cristo,
4 As you read over what I have written to you, you'll be able to see for yourselves into the mystery of Christ.
5 que en otras generaciones no se dio a conocer a los hijos de los hombres, como ahora ha sido revelado a sus santos apóstoles y profetas por el Espíritu;
5 None of our ancestors understood this. Only in our time has it been made clear by God's Spirit through his holy apostles and prophets of this new order.
6 a saber, que los gentiles son coherederos y miembros del mismo cuerpo, participando igualmente de la promesa en Cristo Jesús mediante el evangelio,
6 The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I've been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God. They get the same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus. The Message is accessible and welcoming to everyone, across the board.
7 del cual fui hecho ministro, conforme al don de la gracia de Dios que se me ha concedido según la eficacia de su poder.
7 This is my life work: helping people understand and respond to this Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all the details.
8 A mí, que soy menos que el más pequeño de todos los santos, se me concedió esta gracia: anunciar a los gentiles las inescrutables riquezas de Cristo,
8 When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God's way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities.
9 y sacar a luz cuál es la dispensación del misterio que por los siglos ha estado oculto en Dios, creador de todas las cosas;
9 My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along.
10 a fin de que la infinita sabiduría de Dios sea ahora dada a conocer por medio de la iglesia a los principados y potestades en los lugares celestiales,
10 Through Christians like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels!
11 conforme al propósito eterno que llevó a cabo en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor,
11 All this is proceeding along lines planned all along by God and then executed in Christ Jesus.
12 en quien tenemos libertad y acceso a Dios con confianza por medio de la fe en El.
12 When we trust in him, we're free to say whatever needs to be said, bold to go wherever we need to go.
13 Ruego, por tanto, que no desmayéis a causa de mis tribulaciones por vosotros, porque son vuestra gloria).
13 So don't let my present trouble on your behalf get you down. Be proud!
14 Por esta causa, pues, doblo mis rodillas ante el Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
14 My response is to get down on my knees before the Father,
15 de quien recibe nombre toda familia en el cielo y en la tierra,
15 this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth.
16 que os conceda, conforme a las riquezas de su gloria, ser fortalecidos con poder por su Espíritu en el hombre interior;
16 I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit - not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength -
17 de manera que Cristo more por la fe en vuestros corazones; y que arraigados y cimentados en amor,
17 that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love,
18 seáis capaces de comprender con todos los santos cuál es la anchura, la longitud, la altura y la profundidad,
18 you'll be able to take in with all Christians the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights!
19 y de conocer el amor de Cristo que sobrepasa el conocimiento, para que seáis llenos hasta la medida de toda la plenitud de Dios.
19 Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.
20 Y a aquel que es poderoso para hacer todo mucho más abundantemente de lo que pedimos o entendemos, según el poder que obra en nosotros,
20 God can do anything, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
21 a El sea la gloria en la iglesia y en Cristo Jesús por todas las generaciones, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
21 Glory to God in the church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus! Glory down all the generations! Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!
