EPHESIANS CHAPTER III

FOR this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus 
Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the 
grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto 
me the mystery, as I wrote afore in few words;
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand 
my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,
5 Which in other ages was not made known 
unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto 
his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and 
of the same body, and partakers of his promise in 
Christ by the Gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according 
to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by 
the effectual working of his power. 
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, 
is this grace given, that I should preach among the 
Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship
of the mystery, which from the beginning of 
the world hath been hid in God, who created all things 
by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities 
and powers in heavenly places might be known 
by the church the manifold wisdom of God. 
11 According to the eternal purpose which he 
purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with 
confidence by the faith of him. 
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my 
tribulations for you, which is your glory. 
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the 
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and 
earth is named, 
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;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by 
faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints 
what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth 
knowledge, that ye might be filled with the fulness 
of God. 
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding 
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according 
to the power that worketh in us, 
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
