EMTV - Ephesians - 3

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

3:2  if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

3:3  how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery, just as I wrote before briefly,

3:4  with reference to which, when you read, you can understand my insight 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 by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

3:6  that the Gentiles should be joint-heirs, and of the same body, and joint-partakers in His promise in Christ through the gospel,

3:7  of which I became a minister according to the free gift of the grace of God which was given to me according to the working of His power.

3:8  To me, the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

3:9  and to enlighten all as to what is the administration of the mystery, which had been hidden from the ages in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

3:10  that the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenlies,

3:11  according to the eternal purpose which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

3:13  Therefore I beseech you not to lose heart 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 family in heaven and earth takes its name,

3:16  that He would 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 through faith; being rooted and founded in love,

3:18  that you may be 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 knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

3:20  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

3:21  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
