Ephesians Chapter 3

Young's Literal Translation

   1: For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
   2: if, indeed, ye did hear 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 ye 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 be 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 ministrant, 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 saints -- 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 hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create 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: wherefore, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
   14: For this cause I bow my knees unto 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, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,
   17: that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,
   18: that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, 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 ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God;
   20: and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what 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.
