King James Version
For this reason
I ,
Paul, the prisoner of Christ
Jesus for the
sake
of
you Gentiles ...
For this cause
I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ
for you Gentiles ,
Surely
you
have heard about
the stewardship
of God’s
grace that
was
given to
me for
you ,
If
ye
have heard of
the dispensation
of the
grace of
God
which
is
given me to
you -ward:
that is,
the
mystery
made known to
me by
revelation,
as I have
already
written
briefly.
How
that by
revelation
he
made known unto
me the
mystery;
(
as I wrote
afore
in
few
words,
In
reading
this
, then
, you
will
be
able
to
understand my insight
into
the mystery of Christ ,
Whereby
, when
ye
read
, ye
may
understand my knowledge
in
the mystery of Christ )
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 .
Which in
other
ages
was not made known unto
the
sons
of
men ,
as it is
now revealed unto
his
holy apostles and prophets by
the
Spirit;
This
mystery
is
that through
the gospel
the
Gentiles are
fellow
heirs
, fellow
members
of the body, and fellow
partakers of the
promise in Christ Jesus.
That the Gentiles should
be
fellowheirs
, and
of the same
body, and partakers of his
promise in Christ by
the
gospel:
I became
a servant
of
this
gospel
by
the gift of God’s
grace ,
given me through
the working of His power.
Whereof
I was
made
a minister,
according
to
the gift of the
grace of
God
given unto
me by
the effectual
working of his power.
Though
I
am less than the least of all the
saints, this grace was
given me:
to
preach to
the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ ,
Unto
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 ;
and to illuminate
for
everyone
the stewardship
of this
mystery, which for
ages
past
was
kept
hidden
in God, who created all things .
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:
His
purpose
was
that now ,
through
the church ,
the manifold wisdom of God should
be
made
known
to
the
rulers
and
authorities
in
the
heavenly
realms
,
To
the
intent
that now unto
the principalities
and
powers
in
heavenly
places
might
be
known
by
the
church the manifold wisdom of God,
according to the eternal purpose that
He accomplished
in Christ Jesus our Lord .
According to the eternal purpose which
he purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord :
In Him
and
through
faith
in
Him
we may
enter
God’s
presence
with
boldness and confidence.
In whom
we have
boldness and access
with
confidence by
the
faith
of
him
.
So
I ask
you
not to
be
discouraged
because
of
my sufferings
for you, which are
your glory.
Wherefore
I desire
that
ye
faint
not at
my tribulations
for you, which is
your glory.
...
for this reason
I bow my knees before
the Father,
For this cause
I bow my knees unto
the Father of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
from
whom every
family in heaven and on
earth derives
its
name.
Of
whom the
whole
family in heaven and earth is
named,
I
ask
that out
of
the riches of His glory He
may
strengthen
you
with power
through
His Spirit in your
inner being,
That he
would
grant
you,
according
to
the riches of his glory ,
to
be
strengthened
with might
by
his Spirit in the
inner man;
so
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith .
Then
you
, being rooted and grounded in love,
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by
faith ;
that
ye
, being rooted and grounded in love,
will
have
power,
together
with all the
saints ,
to
comprehend
the length and width
and height and
depth
May
be
able
to
comprehend
with all saints what
is
the breadth,
and
length ,
and depth,
and height ;
of
the love of Christ, and
to
know
this
love
that
surpasses
knowledge, that you
may
be filled with all the fullness
of God.
And
to
know
the love of Christ, which
passeth
knowledge, that ye
might
be filled with all the fulness
of God.
Now to
Him who
is able to do so
much
more
than
all we ask or imagine
, according to His
power that is
at
work
within
us,
Now unto
him that
is able to do exceeding
abundantly
above
all that
we ask or think
, according to the
power that worketh
in
us,
to
Him be the
glory in the church and
in
Christ Jesus throughout all generations
, forever
and
ever
. Amen.
Unto
him be glory in the church by
Christ Jesus throughout all ages
, world
without
end
. Amen.
