Ephesians 3 : 1 (ASV)

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,--

Ephesians 3 : 2 (ASV)

if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;

Ephesians 3 : 3 (ASV)

how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,

Ephesians 3 : 4 (ASV)

whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

Ephesians 3 : 5 (ASV)

which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

Ephesians 3 : 6 (ASV)

to wit, that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

Ephesians 3 : 7 (ASV)

whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

Ephesians 3 : 8 (ASV)

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Ephesians 3 : 9 (ASV)

and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;

Ephesians 3 : 10 (ASV)

to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Ephesians 3 : 11 (ASV)

according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

Ephesians 3 : 12 (ASV)

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

Ephesians 3 : 13 (ASV)

Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

Ephesians 3 : 14 (ASV)

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,

Ephesians 3 : 15 (ASV)

from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

Ephesians 3 : 16 (ASV)

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

Ephesians 3 : 17 (ASV)

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Ephesians 3 : 18 (ASV)

may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

Ephesians 3 : 19 (ASV)

and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3 : 20 (ASV)

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,

Ephesians 3 : 21 (ASV)

unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.
