Ephesians 3:1
|
|
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ
Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles, -- |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:2
|
|
if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation
of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward; |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:3
|
|
how that by revelation was made known unto me
the mystery, as I wrote before in few words, |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:4
|
|
whereby,
when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:5
|
|
which in other generation was not made known
unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and
prophets in the Spirit; |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:6
|
|
to wit, that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs,
and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ
Jesus through the gospel, |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:7
|
|
whereof I was made a minister, according to
the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his
power. |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:8
|
|
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints,
was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
|
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:9
|
|
and to make all men see what is the dispensation
of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things; |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:10
|
|
to the intent that now unto the principalities
and the powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the church the
manifold wisdom of God, |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:11
|
|
according to the eternal purpose which he purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord: |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:12
|
|
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence
through our faith in him. |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:13
|
|
Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my
tribulations for you, which are your glory. |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:14
|
|
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,
|
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:15
|
|
from whom every family in heaven and on earth
is named, |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:16
|
|
that he would grant you, according to the riches
of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the
inward man; |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:17
|
|
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:18
|
|
may be strong to apprehend with all the saints
what is the breadth and length and height and depth, |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:19
|
|
and to know the love of Christ which passeth
knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God. |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:20
|
|
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, |
|
|
|
Ephesians 3:21
|
|
unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ
Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen. |
