Ephesians 3

₁For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, ₂if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: ₃how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, ₄whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) ₅which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ₆that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: ₇whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. ₈Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; ₉and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: ₁₀to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, ₁₁according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: ₁₂in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. ₁₃Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

₁₄For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ₁₅of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ₁₆that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; ₁₇that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, ₁₈may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; ₁₉and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. ₂₀Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, ₂₁unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
