Ephesians
3:1-13
For
this reason I, Paul the prisoner of Christ Jesus
For
the sake of you Gentiles--
2
Surely you have heard about the administration of God's Grace
3 That
was given to me for you,
that
is , The Mystery made known to me by Revelation,
As I
have already written briefly.
4 In
reading this, then,
You
will be able to understand my insight
INTO
THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST,
5
Which was not made known to men in other generations
As it
has now been revealed
By the
Spirit to God's holy Apostles and Prophets.
6 THIS
MYSTERY IS
That
through the Gospel the Gentiles are Heirs
Together
with Israel,
Members
together of One Body,
And
sharers together in the Promise in Christ Jesus.
7 I
became a servant of this Gospel
By the
Gift of God's Grace
Given
through the working of His Power.
8
Although I am less than the least of all God's people,
This
Grace was given me:
To
Preach to the Gentiles
THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST,
9 And
to make plain to everyone
The
administration of this Mystery,
Which
for Ages Past was Kept Hidden in God,
WHO
CREATED ALL THINGS.
10 His
intent was that now,
THROUGH
THE CHURCH,
The
Manifold Wisdom of God
Should
be made known
To the
rulers and Authorities in the Heavenly Realms,
11
According to His Eternal Purpose
Which
He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 IN
HIM AND THROUGH FAITH IN HIM
We may
approach God with Freedom and Confidence.
13 I
ask you, therefore, not to be Discouraged
BECAUSE
OF MY SUFFERINGS FOR YOU,
Which
are for your Glory.
(Ephesians
3:1-13)
