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 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.
