| 3:1 | For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles |
| 3:2 | if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, |
| 3:3 | how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, |
| 3:4 | by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), |
| 3:5 | which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: |
| 3:6 | that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, |
| 3:7 | of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. |
| 3:8 | To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, |
| 3:9 | and to make all see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; |
| 3:10 | to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly [places], |
| 3:11 | according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, |
| 3:12 | in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. |
| 3:13 | Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. |
| 3:14 | For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 3:15 | from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, |
| 3:16 | that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, |
| 3:17 | that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, |
| 3:18 | may be able to comprehend with all the saints what [is] the width and length and depth and height |
| 3:19 | to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. |
| 3:20 | 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, |
| 3:21 | to Him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. |
