| # Chapter 3
#### 1 | For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
#### 2 | if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
#### 3 | how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
#### 4 | whereby, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
#### 5 | which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
#### 6 | that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
#### 7 | whereof 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.
#### 8 | To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
#### 9 | and 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;
#### 10 | to 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,
#### 11 | according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus, our Lord;
#### 12 | in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
#### 13 | Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
#### 14 | For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
#### 15 | from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
#### 16 | that 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;
#### 17 | that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
#### 18 | may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
#### 19 | and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.
#### 20 | Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
#### 21 | to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
