1 F or this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,

2 i f it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;

if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,

3 h ow that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few --

4 b y which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

in regard to which ye are able, reading, to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,

5 w hich in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit --

6 t hat the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,

7 o f which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power;

8 T o me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ,

9 a nd to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

and to cause all to see what the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

10 t o the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

11 a ccording to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;

according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

12 i n whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

13 T herefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

wherefore, I ask not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 F or this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 f rom whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,

16 t hat he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

17 t hat Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

18 m ay be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, what the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,

19 a nd to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God;

20 N ow to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

21 t o him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

to Him the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
