Ephesians 3:1-21 CSB

Ephesians 3:1-21 CSB [1] For this reason, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles- [2] assuming you have heard about the administration of God's grace that he gave me for you. [3] The mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have briefly written above. [4] By reading this you are able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ. [5] This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: [6] The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. [7] I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace that was given to me by the working of his power. [8] This grace was given to me-the least of all the saints-to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches of Christ, [9] and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things. [10] This is so that God's multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens. [11] This is according to his eternal purpose accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. [12] In him we have boldness and confident access through faith in him. [13] So, then, I ask you not to be discouraged over my afflictions on your behalf, for they are your glory. [14] For this reason I kneel before the Father [15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. [16] I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through his Spirit, [17] and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, [18] may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, [19] and to know Christ's love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. [20] Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us- [21] to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
