< Ephesians 3 >

1 For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
τουτου χαριν εγω παυλος ο δεσμιος του χριστου ιησου υπερ υμων των εθνων
2 if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
ειγε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν της χαριτος του θεου της δοθεισης μοι εις υμας
3 that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words] —
οτι κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισεν μοι το μυστηριον καθως προεγραψα εν ολιγω
4 in regard to which ye are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret 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 was now 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 nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and 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 ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that 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 — the less than the least of all the saints — was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news — the untraceable riches of the Christ,
εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων αγιων εδοθη η χαρις αυτη εν τοις εθνεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι τον ανεξιχνιαστον πλουτον του χριστου
9 and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by 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 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,
ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταις αρχαις και ταις εξουσιαις εν τοις επουρανιοις δια της εκκλησιας η πολυποικιλος σοφια του θεου
11 according to a 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 the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,
εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και την προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια της πιστεως αυτου
13 wherefore, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
διο αιτουμαι μη εκκακειν εν ταις θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων ητις εστιν δοξα υμων
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
τουτου χαριν καμπτω τα γονατα μου προς τον πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
15 of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοις και επι γης ονομαζεται
16 that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,
ινα δωη υμιν κατα τον πλουτον της δοξης αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματος αυτου εις τον εσω ανθρωπον
17 that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,
κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια της πιστεως εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
18 that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, 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 to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled — to all the fulness of God;
γνωναι τε την υπερβαλλουσαν της γνωσεως αγαπην του χριστου ινα πληρωθητε εις παν το πληρωμα του θεου
20 and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,
τω δε δυναμενω υπερ παντα ποιησαι υπερ εκπερισσου ων αιτουμεθα η νοουμεν κατα την δυναμιν την ενεργουμενην εν ημιν
21 to Him [is] the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
αυτω η δοξα εν τη εκκλησια εν χριστω ιησου εις πασας τας γενεας του αιωνος των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
