ACV - Ephesians - 3

3:1  For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

3:2  since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,

3:3  that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

3:4  With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,

3:5  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.

3:6  For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good news.

3:7  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.

3:8  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,

3:9  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.

3:10  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,

3:11  according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

3:12  in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.

3:13  Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.

3:14  For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

3:15  from whom every patriarchy in heavens and on earth is named.

3:16  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,

3:17  for the Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith,

3:18  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,

3:19  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.

3:20  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,

3:21  to him is the glory in the church in Christ Jesus for all generations of the age of the ages. Truly.
