< Ephesians 3 >

1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
τουτου χαριν εγω παυλοσ ο δεσμιοσ του χριστου ιησου υπερ υμων των εθνων
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
ειγε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν τησ χαριτοσ του θεου τησ δοθεισησ μοι εισ υμασ
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
οτι κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισεν μοι το μυστηριον καθωσ προεγραψα εν ολιγω
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
προσ ο δυνασθε αναγινωσκοντεσ νοησαι την συνεσιν μου εν τω μυστηριω του χριστου
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
ο ετεραισ γενεαισ ουκ εγνωρισθη τοισ υιοισ των ανθρωπων ωσ νυν απεκαλυφθη τοισ αγιοισ αποστολοισ αυτου και προφηταισ εν πνευματι
6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
ειναι τα εθνη συγκληρονομα και συσσωμα και συμμετοχα τησ επαγγελιασ αυτου εν τω χριστω δια του ευαγγελιου
7 of which 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.
ου εγενομην διακονοσ κατα την δωρεαν τησ χαριτοσ του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι κατα την ενεργειαν τησ δυναμεωσ αυτου
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων αγιων εδοθη η χαρισ αυτη εν τοισ εθνεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι τον ανεξιχνιαστον πλουτον του χριστου
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, (aiōn g165)
και φωτισαι παντασ τισ η οικονομια του μυστηριου του αποκεκρυμμενου απο των αιωνων εν τω θεω τω τα παντα κτισαντι δια ιησου χριστου (aiōn g165)
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,
ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταισ αρχαισ και ταισ εξουσιαισ εν τοισ επουρανιοισ δια τησ εκκλησιασ η πολυποικιλοσ σοφια του θεου
11 according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
κατα προθεσιν των αιωνων ην εποιησεν εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων (aiōn g165)
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και την προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια τησ πιστεωσ αυτου
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
διο αιτουμαι μη εκκακειν εν ταισ θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων ητισ εστιν δοξα υμων
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
τουτου χαριν καμπτω τα γονατα μου προσ τον πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοισ και επι γησ ονομαζεται
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 inner person,
ινα δωη υμιν κατα τον πλουτον τησ δοξησ αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματοσ αυτου εισ τον εσω ανθρωπον
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια τησ πιστεωσ εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
εν αγαπη ερριζωμενοι και τεθεμελιωμενοι ινα εξισχυσητε καταλαβεσθαι συν πασιν τοισ αγιοισ τι το πλατοσ και μηκοσ και βαθοσ και υψοσ
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
γνωναι τε την υπερβαλλουσαν τησ γνωσεωσ αγαπην του χριστου ινα πληρωθητε εισ παν το πληρωμα του θεου
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,
τω δε δυναμενω υπερ παντα ποιησαι υπερ εκπερισσου ων αιτουμεθα η νοουμεν κατα την δυναμιν την ενεργουμενην εν ημιν
21 to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
αυτω η δοξα εν τη εκκλησια εν χριστω ιησου εισ πασασ τασ γενεασ του αιωνοσ των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
