Ephesians Chapter 3

1For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of AnointedOne Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles, 2if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you, 3how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words.

4By which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of the AnointedOne, 5which 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.

6The Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in AnointedOne Jesus through the Good News, 7of 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.

8To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the AnointedOne, 9and 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 AnointedOne, 10to 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, 11according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in AnointedOne Jesus our Lord; 12in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

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

14For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus AnointedOne, 15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, 17that the AnointedOne may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19and to know the AnointedOne's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21to him be the glory in the assembly and in AnointedOne Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
