Ephesians 3

5 The hidden mystery, 6 that the Gentiles should be saved, 3 was made known to Paul by revelation: 8 and to him was that grace given, that 9 he should preach it. 13 He desireth them not to faint for his tribulation, 14 and prayeth, 19 that they may perceive the great love of Christ toward them.

 3:1 ¶ For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations:—

 3:2 If at least ye have heard of the administration of the favour of God which hath been given unto me for you,

 3:3 [How that], by way of revelation, was made known unto me the sacred secret,—even as I before wrote in brief,—

 3:4 Respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my discernment in the sacred secret of the Christ,—

 3:5 Which, in other generations, had not been made known unto the sons of men, as it hath, now, been revealed by his holy apostles and prophets, in Spirit;—

 3:6 That they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through means of the glad-message,—

 3:7 Of which I was made a minister, according to the free-gift of the favour of God which was given unto me, according to the energy of his power:

 3:8 Unto me—the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

 3:9 And to bring to light—what is the administration of the sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages in God, who did all things create:

 3:10 In order that now, unto the principalities and the authorities in the heavenlies, might be made known, through means of the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,—

 3:11 According to a plan of the ages which he made in the anointed Jesus our Lord,—

 3:12 In whom we have our freedom of speech and introduction with assurance, through the faith of him;—

 3:13 Wherefore I request, that there be no fainting in my tribulations in your behalf, the which is your glory;—

 3:14 ¶ For this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father,—

 3:15 From whom every fatherhood in [the] heavens and upon the earth is named,—

 3:16 In order that he may give unto you—according to his glorious riches, with power, to be strengthened, through his Spirit, in the inner man,

 3:17 That the Christ may dwell, through means of your faith, in your hearts, in love, having become rooted and founded,

 3:18 In order that ye may be mighty enough to grasp firmly, with all the saints,—what is the breadth and length and depth and height,

 3:19 To get to know, also, the knowledge-surpassing, love of the Christ,—in order that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God:

 3:20 Now, unto him who is able to do, above all things, exceeding abundantly above the things which we ask or conceive,—according to the power which doth energise itself within us,—

 3:21 Unto him, be the glory, in the assembly, and in Christ Jesus—unto all the generations of the age of ages; Amen:—
