Ephesians 3

King James Version KJV

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

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

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

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

5 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;

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

7 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.

8 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;

9 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:

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

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

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

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

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

15 Of 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 by his Spirit in the inner man;

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

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

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

20 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,

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

1 On account of this I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles

2 --if indeed you have heard [about] the stewardship of God's grace given to me for you.

3 According to revelation the mystery was made known to me, just as I wrote beforehand in brief,

4 so that you may be able when you read to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ

5 (which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit):

6 [that] the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

7 of which I became a servant, according to the gift of God's grace given to me, according to the working of his power.

8 To me, the least of all the saints, was given this grace: to proclaim the good news of the fathomless riches of Christ to the Gentiles,

9 and to enlighten everyone [as to] what [is] the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages by God, who created all [things],

10 in order that the many-sided wisdom of God might be made known now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly [places] through the church,

11 according to the purpose of the ages which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

13 Therefore I ask [you] not to be discouraged at my afflictions on behalf of you, which are your glory.

14 On account of this, I bend my knees before the Father,

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

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

17 [that] Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (you having been firmly rooted and established in love),

18 in order that you may be strong enough to grasp together with all the saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and height, and depth,

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

20 Now to the one who is able to do beyond all measure more than all that we ask or think, according to the power that is at work in us,

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