1 - For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2 - If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me on your account.

3 - That by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words;

4 - By which when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,

5 - Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6 - That the Gentiles should be joint-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel:

7 - Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.

8 - To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 - And to make all [men] see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10 - To the intent that now to the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

11 - According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

12 - In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him,

13 - Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 - For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 - Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 - That he would grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17 - That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 - May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and highth.

19 - And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 - Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

21 - To him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
