Chapter 3

¹ For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles;
² If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you:
³ How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words;
⁴ As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,
⁵ Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit:
⁶ That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and co-partners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel:
⁷ Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power:
⁸ To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ,
⁹ And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things:
¹⁰ That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,
¹¹ According to the eternal purpose, which he made, in Christ Jesus our Lord:
¹² In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
¹³ Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
¹⁴ For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁵ Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named,
¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man,
¹⁷ That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity,
¹⁸ You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth:
¹⁹ To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.
²⁰ Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us;
²¹ To him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus unto all generations, world without end. Amen.

Chapter 3

¹ For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,
² If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,
³ How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,
⁴ By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ;
⁵ Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
⁶ Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,
⁷ Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.
⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:
⁹ And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things;
¹⁰ So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,
¹¹ Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:
¹² By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.
¹³ For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.
¹⁴ For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,
¹⁵ From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
¹⁶ That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;
¹⁷ So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,
¹⁸ May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,
¹⁹ And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.
²⁰ Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,
²¹ To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. So be it.
