^{1 Ref} For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,

^{2 Ref} If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,

^{3 Ref} How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,

^{4 Ref} By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ;

^{5 Ref} Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

^{6 Ref} Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,

^{7 Ref} Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

^{8 Ref} To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

^{9 Ref} And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things;

^{10 Ref} So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,

^{11 Ref} Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:

^{12 Ref} By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.

^{13 Ref} For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.

^{14 Ref} For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,

^{15 Ref} From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

^{16 Ref} That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

^{17 Ref} So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

^{18 Ref} May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,

^{19 Ref} And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.

^{20 Ref} Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

^{21 Ref} To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. So be it.

^{1 Ref} For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

^{2 Ref} if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;

^{3 Ref} how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

^{4 Ref} by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

^{5 Ref} 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;

^{6 Ref} that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel,

^{7 Ref} 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.

^{8 Ref} To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

^{9 Ref} and to make all men see what is the administration{TR reads "fellowship" instead of "administration"} of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

^{10 Ref} 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,

^{11 Ref} according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;

^{12 Ref} in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

^{13 Ref} Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

^{14 Ref} For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

^{15 Ref} from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

^{16 Ref} that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

^{17 Ref} that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

^{18 Ref} may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

^{19 Ref} and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

^{20 Ref} 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,

^{21 Ref} to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
