ASV_Strong : Ephesians 3
1. For this cause[G5484] I[G1473] Paul[G3972], the prisoner[G1198] of Christ[G5547] Jesus[G2424] in behalf[G5228] of you[G5216] Gentiles[G1484],—
2. if[G1489] so be that ye have heard of[G191] the dispensation[G3622] of that grace[G5485] of God[G2316] which[G3588] was given[G1325] me[G3427] to[G1519] you-ward[G5209];
3. how that[G3754] by[G2596] revelation[G602] was made known[G1107] unto me[G3427] the mystery[G3466], as[G2531] I wrote before[G4270] in[G1722] few words[G3641],
4. whereby[G3739], when[G4314] ye read[G314], ye can[G1410] perceive[G3539] my[G3450] understanding[G4907] in[G1722] the mystery[G3466] of Christ[G5547];
5. which[G3739] in[G1722] other[G2087] generations[G1074] was[G1107] not[G3756] made known[G1107] unto the sons[G5207] of men[G444], as[G5613] it hath[G601] now[G3568] been revealed[G601] unto[G3588] his[G846] holy[G40] apostles[G652] and[G2532] prophets[G4396] in[G1722] the Spirit[G4151];
6. to wit[G3588], that the Gentiles[G1484] are[G1511] fellow-heirs[G4789], and[G2532] fellow-members[G4954] of the body, and[G2532] fellow-partakers[G4830] of the[G846] promise[G1860] in[G1722] Christ[G5547] Jesus through[G1223] the gospel[G2098],
7. whereof[G3739] I was made[G1096] a minister[G1249], according to[G2596] the gift[G1431] of that grace[G5485] of God[G2316] which was given[G1325] me[G3427] according[G2596] to the working[G1753] of his[G846] power[G1411].
8. Unto me[G1698], who am[G3588] less than the least[G1647] of all[G3956] saints[G40], was[G1325] this[G3778] grace[G5485] given[G1325], to preach[G2097] unto[G1722] the Gentiles[G1484] the unsearchable[G421] riches[G4149] of Christ[G5547];
9. and[G2532] to make[G5461] all[G3956] men see[G5461] what[G5101] is the dispensation[G2842] of the mystery[G3466] which[G3588] for[G575] ages[G165] hath been hid[G613] in[G1722] God[G2316] who[G3588] created[G2936] all things[G3956];
10. to the intent that[G2443] now[G3568] unto the principalities[G746] and[G2532] the powers[G1849] in[G1722] the heavenly[G2032] places might be made known[G1107] through[G1223] the church[G1577] the manifold[G4182] wisdom[G4678] of God[G2316],
11. according to[G2596] the eternal[G165] purpose[G4286] which[G3739] he purposed[G4160] in[G1722] Christ[G5547] Jesus[G2424] our[G2257] Lord[G2962]:
12. in[G1722] whom[G3739] we have[G2192] boldness[G3954] and[G2532] access[G4318] in[G1722] confidence[G4006] through[G1223] our faith[G4102] in him[G846].
13. Wherefore[G1352] I ask[G154] that ye may not[G3361] faint[G1573] at[G1722] my[G3450] tribulations[G2347] for[G5228] you[G5216], which[G3748] are[G2076] your[G5216] glory[G1391].
14. For this cause[G5484] I bow[G2578] my[G3450] knees[G1119] unto[G4314] the Father[G3962],
15. from[G1537] whom[G3739] every[G3956] family[G3965] in[G1722] heaven[G3772] and[G2532] on[G1909] earth[G1093] is named[G3687],
16. that[G2443] he would grant[G1325] you[G5213], according to[G2596] the riches[G4149] of his[G846] glory[G1391], that ye may be strengthened[G2901] with power[G1411] through[G1223] his[G846] Spirit[G4151] in[G1519] the inward[G2080] man[G444];
17. that[G3588] Christ[G5547] may dwell[G2730] in[G1722] your[G5216] hearts[G2588] through[G1223] faith[G4102]; to the end that ye[G4492], being rooted and[G2532] grounded[G2311] in[G1722] love[G26],
18. may be strong[G1840] to[G2443] apprehend[G2638] with[G4862] all[G3956] the saints[G40] what[G5101] is the breadth[G4114] and[G2532] length[G3372] and[G2532] height[G5311] and[G2532] depth[G899],
19. and[G5037] to know[G1097] the love[G26] of Christ[G5547] which[G3588] passeth[G5235] knowledge[G1108], that[G2443] ye may be filled[G4137] unto[G1519] all[G3956] the fulness[G4138] of God[G2316].
20. Now[G1161] unto him that[G3588] is able[G1410] to[G5228] do[G4160] exceeding abundantly[G4057] above[G5228] all[G3956] that[G3739] we ask[G154] or[G2228] think[G3539], according to[G2596] the power[G1411] that[G3588] worketh[G1754] in[G1722] us[G2254],
21. unto him[G846] be the glory[G1391] in[G1722] the church[G1577] and in[G1722] Christ[G5547] Jesus[G2424] unto[G1519] all[G3956] generations[G1074] for ever[G165] and ever[G165]. Amen[G281].
