RKJNT - Ephesians - 3

3:1  For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,

3:2  If indeed you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God which was given to me for you:

3:3  That by revelation he made known to me the mystery; as I wrote before briefly.

3:4  When you read this, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

3:5  Which in other ages 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 is, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and sharers together of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel:

3:7  Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the working of his power.

3:8  To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, was this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

3:9  And make all men see what is the plan of the mystery, which from past ages has been hidden in God, who created all things:

3:10  That now, to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places, the manifold wisdom of God might be known through the church,

3:11  According to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord:

3:12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by faith in him.

3:13  Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

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

3:15  From whom every family in heaven and earth is named,

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

3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

3:18  May be able to comprehend, with all the saints, its breadth, and length, and height, and depth;

3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God.

3:20  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

3:21  To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.
