3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for
you Gentiles,
3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God
which is given me to you-ward:
3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;
(as I wrote afore in few words,
3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in
the mystery of Christ)
3:5 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;
3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same
body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
3:7 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.
3:8 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;
3:9 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:
3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and
powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the
manifold wisdom of God,
3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in
Christ Jesus our Lord:
3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by
the faith of him.
3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations
for you, which is your glory.
3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
3:15 Of whom the whole 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 ye,
being rooted and grounded in love,
3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the
breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
3:20 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,
3:21 Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
