Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,
For this cause, I Paul am the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 (if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,
If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde,
3 that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,
That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes,
4 by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ, )
Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe mine vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ)
5 which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,
Which in other ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit,
6 that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;
That the Gentiles should be inheriters also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel,
7 of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.
Whereof I am made a minister by the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto me through the effectuall working of his power.
8 To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,
Euen vnto me the least of all Saints is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable riches of Christ,
9 and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things, (aiōn g165)
And to make cleare vnto all men what the fellowship of the mysterie is, which from the beginning of the world hath bene hid in God, who hath created all things by Iesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
10 in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,
To the intent, that nowe vnto principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the Church the manifolde wisedome of God,
According to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesus our Lord: (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.
By whom we haue boldenes and entrance with confidence, by faith in him.
13 Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for your sakes, which is your glory.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],
For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
15 of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,
(Of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth)
16 in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;
That he might graunt you according to the riches of his glorie, that ye may be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man,
17 that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,
That Christ may dwell in your heartes by faith:
18 in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;
That ye, being rooted and grounded in loue, may be able to comprehend with al Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:
19 and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.
And to knowe the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all fulnesse of God.
20 But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,
Vnto him therefore that is able to do exceeding aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs,
