AFV2020 - Ephesians - 3

3:1  For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,

3:2  If indeed you have heard of the ministry of the grace of God that was given to me for you;

3:3  How He made known to me by revelation the mystery (even as I wrote briefly before,

3:4  So that when you read this, you will be able to comprehend my understanding in the mystery of Christ),

3:5  Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

3:6  That the Gentiles might be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

3:7  Of which I became a servant according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given to me through the inner working of His power.

3:8  To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, that I might preach the gospel among the Gentiles— even the unsearchable riches of Christ;

3:9  And that I might enlighten all as to what is the fellowship of the mystery that has been hidden from the ages in God, Who created all things by Jesus Christ;

3:10  So that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

3:11  According to His eternal purpose, which He has wrought in Christ Jesus our Lord,

3:12  In Whom we have boldness and direct access with confidence through His very own faith.

3:13  So then, I beseech you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which are working for your glory.

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

3:15  Of Whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

3:16  That He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power by His Spirit in the inner man;

3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;

3:18  And that being rooted and grounded in love, you may be fully able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height,

3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which surpasses human knowledge; so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

3:20  Now to Him Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

3:21  To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all generations, even into the ages of eternity. Amen.
