Ephesians 3:1-21 LSV
[1] For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations, [2] if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you, [3] that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]— [4] in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ, [5] which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit— [6] that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news, [7] of which I became a servant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power; [8] to me—the less than the least of all the holy ones—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ, [9] and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that has been hid from the ages in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ, [10] that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the Assembly, the manifold wisdom of God, [11] according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, [12] in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him, [13] for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in 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 the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named, [16] that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened through His Spirit with might, in regard to the inner man, [17] that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love, [18] that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, [19] to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that you may be filled—to all the fullness of God; [20] and to Him who is able to do exceedingly [and] abundantly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us, [21] to Him [is] the glory in the Assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
