1 τουτου χαριν εγω παυλος ο δεσμιος του χριστου {VAR1: ιησου } {VAR2: [ιησου] } υπερ υμων των εθνων
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 ει γε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν της χαριτος του θεου της δοθεισης μοι εις υμας
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 [οτι] κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισθη μοι το μυστηριον καθως προεγραψα εν ολιγω
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 προς ο δυνασθε αναγινωσκοντες νοησαι την συνεσιν μου εν τω μυστηριω του χριστου
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 ο ετεραις γενεαις ουκ εγνωρισθη τοις υιοις των ανθρωπων ως νυν απεκαλυφθη τοις αγιοις αποστολοις αυτου και προφηταις εν πνευματι
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 ειναι τα εθνη συγκληρονομα και συσσωμα και συμμετοχα της επαγγελιας εν χριστω ιησου δια του ευαγγελιου
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
7 ου εγενηθην διακονος κατα την δωρεαν της χαριτος του θεου της δοθεισης μοι κατα την ενεργειαν της δυναμεως αυτου
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 εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων αγιων εδοθη η χαρις αυτη τοις εθνεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι το ανεξιχνιαστον πλουτος του χριστου
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 και φωτισαι {VAR2: [παντας] } τις η οικονομια του μυστηριου του αποκεκρυμμενου απο των αιωνων εν τω θεω τω τα παντα κτισαντι (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 ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταις αρχαις και ταις εξουσιαις εν τοις επουρανιοις δια της εκκλησιας η πολυποικιλος σοφια του θεου
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 εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια της πιστεως αυτου
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 διο αιτουμαι μη εγκακειν εν ταις θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων ητις εστιν δοξα υμων
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 τουτου χαριν καμπτω τα γονατα μου προς τον πατερα
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοις και επι γης ονομαζεται
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 ινα δω υμιν κατα το πλουτος της δοξης αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματος αυτου εις τον εσω ανθρωπον
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 κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια της πιστεως εν ταις καρδιαις υμων εν αγαπη ερριζωμενοι και τεθεμελιωμενοι εν αγαπη ερριζωμενοι και τεθεμελιωμενοι
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 ινα εξισχυσητε καταλαβεσθαι συν πασιν τοις αγιοις τι το πλατος και μηκος και υψος και βαθος
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 γνωναι τε την υπερβαλλουσαν της γνωσεως αγαπην του χριστου ινα πληρωθητε εις παν το πληρωμα του θεου
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 τω δε δυναμενω υπερ παντα ποιησαι υπερ εκπερισσου ων αιτουμεθα η νοουμεν κατα την δυναμιν την ενεργουμενην εν ημιν
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,
