Rotherham - Ephesians - 3

3:1  For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations:—

3:2  If at least ye have heard of the administration of the favour of God which hath been given unto me for you,

3:3  [How that], by way of revelation, was made known unto me the sacred secret,—even as I before wrote in brief,—

3:4  Respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my discernment in the sacred secret of the Christ,—

3:5  Which, in other generations, had not been made known unto the sons of men, as it hath, now, been revealed by his holy apostles and prophets, in Spirit;—

3:6  That they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through means of the glad-message,—

3:7  Of which I was made a minister, according to the free-gift of the favour of God which was given unto me, according to the energy of his power:

3:8  Unto me—the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

3:9  And to bring to light—what is the administration of the sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages in God, who did all things create:

3:10  In order that now, unto the principalities and the authorities in the heavenlies, might be made known, through means of the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,—

3:11  According to a plan of the ages which he made in the anointed Jesus our Lord,—

3:12  In whom we have our freedom of speech and introduction with assurance, through the faith of him;—

3:13  Wherefore I request, that there be no fainting in my tribulations in your behalf, the which is your glory;—

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

3:15  From whom every fatherhood in [the] heavens and upon the earth is named,—

3:16  In order that he may give unto you—according to his glorious riches, with power, to be strengthened, through his Spirit, in the inner man,

3:17  That the Christ may dwell, through means of your faith, in your hearts, in love, having become rooted and founded,

3:18  In order that ye may be mighty enough to grasp firmly, with all the saints,—what is the breadth and length and depth and height,

3:19  To get to know, also, the knowledge-surpassing, love of the Christ,—in order that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God:

3:20  Now, unto him who is able to do, above all things, exceeding abundantly above the things which we ask or conceive,—according to the power which doth energise itself within us,—

3:21  Unto him, be the glory, in the assembly, and in Christ Jesus—unto all the generations of the age of ages; Amen:—
