Godbey - Ephesians - 3

3:1  Therefore I Paul, the prisoner of Christ for the sake of you Gentiles,

3:2  if indeed you have heard the economy of the grace of God which is given to me unto you;

3:3  that according to revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I formerly wrote to you briefly,

3:4  according to which you, reading, are able to know my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

3:5  which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets through the Spirit;

3:6  that the Gentiles are to be fellow-heirs, and the same body, and partakers of the promise of Christ Jesus through the gospel,

3:7  whose minister I became, according to the gift of the grace of God which was given unto me; according to the working of his power.

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

3:9  and to shine forth what is the economy of the mystery which has been hidden from the ages in God who created all things;

3:10  in order that the manifold wisdom of God through the church, may now be made known to the governments and authorities in the heavenlies,

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 with confidence through the faith of him.

3:13  Therefore I ask that you faint not in my tribulations in your behalf, which is your glory.

3:14  For this cause I bow my knees to the Father,

3:15  of whom the whole family in heavens and upon earth is named,

3:16  in order that he may grant unto you, according to the riches of his glory, that you be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

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

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

3:19  and to know the divine love of Christ which transcends knowledge, in order that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

3:20  And to him who is able to do exceedingly above all things which we ask or think, according to the power working in us,

3:21  to him be glory in the church indeed in Christ Jesus unto all the generations of the age of the ages: Amen.
