Ephesians Chapter 3

3 : 1 For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

3 : 2 since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,

3 : 3 that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

3 : 4 With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,

3 : 5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.

3 : 6 For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good news.

3 : 7 Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power.

3 : 8 To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,

3 : 9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.

3 : 10 So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,

3 : 11 according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

3 : 12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.

3 : 13 Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.

3 : 14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

3 : 15 from whom every patriarchy in heavens and on earth is named.

3 : 16 So that he would grant you, according to the wealth of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit for the inner man,

3 : 17 for the Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith,

3 : 18 having been rooted and grounded in love, so that ye may be able to grasp with all the sanctified what is the breadth and length and depth and height,

3 : 19 and to become aware of the love of the Christ, which transcends knowledge, so that ye may be filled in all the fullness of God.

3 : 20 Now to him who is able to do above extraordinary-above all things that we ask or think-according to the power that works in us,

3 : 21 to him is the glory in the church in Christ Jesus for all generations of the age of the ages. Truly.
