 3:1  For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for
you Gentiles,
 3:2  If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God
which is given me to you-ward:
 3:3  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;
(as I wrote afore in few words,
 3:4  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in
the mystery of Christ)
 3:5  Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of
men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets
by the Spirit;
 3:6  That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same
body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
 3:7  Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of
the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his
power.
 3:8  Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is
this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the
unsearchable riches of Christ;
 3:9  And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the
mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in
God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
 3:10  To the intent that now unto the principalities and
powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the
manifold wisdom of God,
 3:11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in
Christ Jesus our Lord:
 3:12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by
the faith of him.
 3:13  Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations
for you, which is your glory.
 3:14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
 3:15  Of 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 by his Spirit in the inner
man;
 3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
being rooted and grounded in love,
 3:18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the
breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
 3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
 3:20  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that
worketh in us,
 3:21  Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
