< Ephesians 3 >

1 For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
τουτου χαριν εγω παυλος ο δεσμιος του χριστου ιησου υπερ υμων των εθνων
2 since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,
ειγε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν της χαριτος του θεου της δοθεισης μοι εις υμας
3 that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.
οτι κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισεν μοι το μυστηριον καθως προεγραψα εν ολιγω
4 With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the 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 sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.
ο ετεραις γενεαις ουκ εγνωρισθη τοις υιοις των ανθρωπων ως νυν απεκαλυφθη τοις αγιοις αποστολοις αυτου και προφηταις εν πνευματι
6 For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ 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 became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to 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, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,
εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων των 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 hidden from the ages 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 So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,
ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταις αρχαις και ταις εξουσιαις εν τοις επουρανιοις δια της εκκλησιας η πολυποικιλος σοφια του θεου
11 according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
κατα προθεσιν των αιωνων ην εποιησεν εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.
εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και την προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια της πιστεως αυτου
13 Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.
διο αιτουμαι μη εκκακειν εν ταις θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων ητις εστιν δοξα υμων
14 For this reason 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 patriarchy in heavens and on earth is named.
εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοις και επι γης ονομαζεται
16 So that he would grant you, according to the wealth of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit for the inner man,
ινα δωη υμιν κατα τον πλουτον της δοξης αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματος αυτου εις τον εσω ανθρωπον
17 for the Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith,
κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια της πιστεως εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
18 having been rooted and grounded in love, so that ye may be able to grasp with all the sanctified what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
εν αγαπη ερριζωμενοι και τεθεμελιωμενοι ινα εξισχυσητε καταλαβεσθαι συν πασιν τοις αγιοις τι το πλατος και μηκος και βαθος και υψος
19 and to become aware of the love of the Christ, which transcends knowledge, so that ye may be filled in 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 above extraordinary-above all things that we ask or think-according to the power that works in us,
τω δε δυναμενω υπερ παντα ποιησαι υπερεκπερισσου ων αιτουμεθα η νοουμεν κατα την δυναμιν την ενεργουμενην εν ημιν
21 to him is the glory in the church in Christ Jesus for all generations of the age of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
αυτω η δοξα εν τη εκκλησια εν χριστω ιησου εις πασας τας γενεας του αιωνος των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
