1For[G5228]this[G5127]cause[G5484]I[G1473]Paul[G3972], the prisoner[G1198] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]for[G5228]you[G5216]Gentiles[G1484],
2If[G1489] ye have heard[G191] of the dispensation[G3622] of the grace[G5485] of God[G2316]which[G3588] is given[G1325]me[G3427]to[G1519]you-ward[G5209]:
3
How that[G3754]by[G2596]revelation[G602] he made known[G1107] unto me[G3427] the mystery;(as I wrote afore[G4270]in[G1722] few words[G3641],
4Whereby[G4314], when ye read[G314], ye may[G1410]understand[G3539]my[G3450]knowledge[G4907]in[G1722] the mystery[G3466] of Christ[G5547])
5Which[G3739]in[G1722]other[G2087]ages[G1074]was[G1107]not[G3756] made known[G1107] unto the sons[G5207] of men[G444], as[G5613] it is[G601]now[G3568]revealed[G601] unto his[G846]holy[G40]apostles[G652]and[G2532]prophets[G4396]by[G1722] the Spirit[G4151];
6
That the Gentiles[G1484] should be[G1511]fellowheirs[G4789], and[G2532] of the same body[G4954], and[G2532]partakers[G4830] of his[G846]promise[G1860]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]by[G1223] the gospel[G2098]:
7Whereof[G3739] I was made[G1096] a minister[G1249], according[G2596] to the gift[G1431] of the grace[G5485] of God[G2316]given[G1325] unto me[G3427]by[G2596] the effectual working[G1753] of his[G846]power[G1411].
8
Unto me[G1698], who am less than the least[G1647] of all[G3956]saints[G40], is[G1325]this[G3778]grace[G5485]given[G1325], that I should preach[G2097]among[G1722] the Gentiles[G1484] the unsearchable[G421]riches[G4149] of Christ[G5547];
9And[G2532] to make[G5461]all[G3956] men see[G5461]what[G5101] is the fellowship[G2842] of the mystery[G3466], which[G3588]from[G575] the beginning of the world[G165] hath been hid[G613]in[G1722]God[G2316], who[G3588]created[G2936]all[G3956]things[G3956]by[G1223]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]:
10
To the intent that[G2443]now[G3568] unto the principalities[G746]and[G2532]powers[G1849]in[G1722]heavenly[G2032] places might be known[G1107]by[G1223] the church[G1577] the manifold[G4182]wisdom[G4678] of God[G2316],
11
According to[G2596] the eternal[G165]purpose[G4286]which[G3739] he purposed[G4160]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424]our[G2257]Lord[G2962]:
12In[G1722]whom[G3739] we have[G2192]boldness[G3954]and[G2532]access[G4318]with[G1722]confidence[G4006]by[G1223] the faith[G4102] of him[G846].
13Wherefore[G1352] I desire[G154] that ye faint[G1573]not[G3361]at[G1722]my[G3450]tribulations[G2347]for[G5228]you[G5216], which[G3748]is[G2076]your[G5216]glory[G1391].
14
For this[G5127]cause[G5484] I bow[G2578]my[G3450]knees[G1119]unto[G4314] the Father[G3962] of our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547],
15Of[G1537]whom[G3739] the whole[G3956]family[G3965]in[G1722]heaven[G3772]and[G2532]earth[G1909] is named[G3687],
16That[G2443] he would grant[G1325]you[G5213], according to[G2596] the riches[G4149] of his[G846]glory[G1391], to[G2596] be strengthened[G2901] with might[G1411]by[G1223]his[G846]Spirit[G4151]in[G1519] the inner[G2080]man[G444];
17That[G2443]Christ[G5547] may dwell[G2730]in[G1722]your[G5216]hearts[G2588]by[G1223]faith[G4102]; that[G2443] ye, being rooted[G4492]and[G2532]grounded[G2311]in[G1722]love[G26],
18
May be able[G1840] to comprehend[G2638]with[G4862]all[G3956]saints[G40]what[G5101] is the breadth[G4114], and[G2532]length[G3372], and[G2532]depth[G899], and[G2532]height[G5311];
19And[G5037] to know[G1097] the love[G26] of Christ[G5547], which passeth[G5235]knowledge[G1108], that[G2443] ye might be filled[G4137]with[G1519]all[G3956] the fulness[G4138] of God[G2316].
20Now[G1161] unto him that[G3739] is able[G1410]to[G2596]do[G4160]exceeding[G5228]abundantly[G1537]above[G5228]all[G3956]that[G3739] we ask[G154]or[G2228]think[G3539], according to[G2596] the power[G1411]that[G3739]worketh[G1754]in[G1722]us[G2254],
21
Unto him[G846] be glory[G1391]in[G1722] the church[G1577]by[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424]throughout[G1519]all[G3956]ages[G1074], world[G165] without end[G165]. Amen[G281].
