Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 If all of you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you:
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 Whereby, when all of you read, all of you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; (pneuma)
which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit—
6 That the Gentiles should be join heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
of which I became a servant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power;
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
to me—the less than the least of all the holy ones—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ,
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (aiōn g165)
and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that has been hid from the ages in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the Assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,
according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 Wherefore I desire that all of you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit (pneuma) in the inner man;
that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened through His Spirit with might, in regard to the inner man,
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that all of you, being rooted and grounded in love, (agape)
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 And to know the love (agape) of Christ, which passes knowledge, that all of you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that you may be filled—to all the fullness of God;
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
and to Him who is able to do exceedingly [and] abundantly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,
