WEB

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

WEB

if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,

WEB

how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

WEB

by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

WEB

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

WEB

that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

WEB

of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

WEB

To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

WEB

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,

WEB

to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

WEB

according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

WEB

In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

WEB

Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

WEB

For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

WEB

from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

WEB

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

WEB

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

WEB

may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

WEB

and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

WEB

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

WEB

to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
