# Ephesians 3 [[Ephesians 2|←]] • [[Ephesians 4|→]] --- ### 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, ### 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation the of grace of God which is given me to you-ward: ### 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, ### 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) ### 5 Which in other ages not was made known the unto sons of men, as now it is revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ### 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: ### 7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift the of grace of God given unto me by the working effectual of his power. ### 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; ### 9 And to make see all what the fellowship the of mystery, which from the beginning the of world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: ### 10 To the intent that now the unto principalities and powers in heavenly might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, ### 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: ### 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. ### 13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. ### 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ### 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ### 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be with strengthened might by his Spirit in the inner man; ### 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; being rooted that ye, and grounded in love, ### 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; ### 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. ### 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, abundantly ### 21 Unto him glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
