Ephesians 3

CLV(i) 1 On this behalf I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you, the nations" 2 since you surely hear of the administration of the grace of God that is given to me for you, 3 for by revelation the secret is made known to me (according as I write before, in brief, 4 by which you who are reading are able to apprehend my understanding in the secret of the Christ, 5 which, in other generations, is not made known to the sons of humanity as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets): in spirit" 6 the nations are to be joint enjoyers of an allotment, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus, through the evangel" 7 of which I became the dispenser, in accord with the gratuity of the grace of God, which is granted to me in accord with His powerful operation." 8 To me, less than the least of all saints, was granted this grace: to bring the evangel of the untraceable riches of Christ to the nations, 9 and to enlighten all as to what is the administration of the secret, which has been concealed from the eons in God, Who creates all, 10 that now may be made known to the sovereignties and the authorities among the celestials, through the ecclesia, the multifarious wisdom of God, 11 in accord with the purpose of the eons, which He makes in Christ Jesus, our Lord;" 12 in Whom we have boldness and access with confidence, through His faith." 13 Wherefore I am requesting you not to be despondent at those of my afflictions for your sake which are your glory. 14 On this behalf am I bowing my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 after Whom every kindred in the heavens and on earth is being named, 16 that He may be giving you, in accord with the riches of His glory, to be made staunch with power, through His spirit, in the man within, 17 Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, having been rooted and grounded in love, 18 should be strong to grasp, together with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and depth and height" 19 to know the love of Christ as well which transcends knowledge - that you may be completed for the entire complement of God. 20 Now to Him Who is able to do superexcessively above all that we are requesting or apprehending, according to the power that is operating in us, 21 to Him be the glory in the ecclesia and in Christ Jesus for all the generations of the eon of the eons! Amen!
