✧For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, ✧2If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: ✧3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, ✧4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) ✧5Which 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; ✧6That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: ✧7Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. ✧8Unto 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; ✧9And 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: ✧10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, ✧11According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: ✧12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. ✧13Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. ✧14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ✧15Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ✧16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; ✧17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, ✧18May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; ✧19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. ✧20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, ✧21Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
