- For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—
- 2
- assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
- 3
- how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.
- 4
- When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ,
- 5
- which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
- 6
- This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
- 7
- Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power.
- 8
- To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
- 9
- and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things,
- 10
- so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
- 11
- This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
- 12
- in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.
- 13
- So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
- 14
- For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
- 15
- from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
- 16
- that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
- 17
- so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
- 18
- may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
- 19
- and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
- 20
- Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,
- 21
- to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
