Ephesians 3

1For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

2if indeed you heard the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you

3The mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I previously wrote briefly.

4By reading which you can comprehend my understanding in the mystery of Christ.

5which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit.

6that the Gentiles are joint heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel

7Of which I became a servant according to the gift of God's grace that was given to me according to the working of his power.

8To me, the least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.

9and to enlighten all people as to what the stewardship of the mystery is, which has been hidden from the ages in God who created all things.

10so that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and powers in the heavenly places through the church

11according to the purpose of the ages, which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord

12In him we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him.

13Therefore I beg you not to lose heart amid my afflictions for your sake, which are your glory.

14For this reason I bow my knees before the Father.

15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named

16that he may give you power according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened through his Spirit in the inner man

17that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, rooted and grounded in love.

18that you may be empowered to grasp with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are

19and to know even the love of Christ that exceeds knowledge, so that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.

20Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power working in us.

21Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations of the age of ages. Amen.
