Ephesians Chapter 3World English Bible2: if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you; 3: how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words, 4: by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; 5: which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; 6: that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, 7: whereof I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. 8: To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9: and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; 10: to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, 11: according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; 12: in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him. 13: Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory. 14: For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15: from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16: that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; 17: that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18: may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19: and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God. 20: Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21: to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
