For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,
if indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God that was given me toward you;
how that by revelation was made known to me the mystery, even as I have before written briefly,
in accordance with which ye can, in reading, perceive my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,
which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the] Spirit,
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow-partakers of the promises in Christ Jesus by the gospel,
of which I was made minister according to the gift of the grace of God that was given me according to the working of his power.
To me who am less than the least of all saints was this grace given to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of the Christ,
and to enlighten all as to what [is] the administration of the mystery which hath been hidden from the ages in God that created all things;
in order that there might be known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places] by the assembly the manifold wisdom of God,
according to [the] purpose of the ages which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord;
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.
Wherefore I entreat [you] not to faint at my tribulations for you which is your glory.
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
from whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,
that he would give you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power by his Spirit into the inner man,
that the Christ may dwell through faith in your hearts,
being in love rooted and grounded that ye may be fully able to comprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;
and to know the love of the Christ that surpasseth knowledge, that ye may be filled to all the fullness of God.
Now to him that is able to do above all things far exceedingly above what we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
to him [be] glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
