Ephesians 3 — WBMS

See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

3Verse 1For the grace of this thing I, Paul, the bound of Christ Jesus, for you heathen men,Verse 2if nevertheless ye have heard the dispensation of God’s grace, that is given to me in you.Verse 3For by revelation the sacrament is made known to me, as I above wrote in short thing,Verse 4as ye may read, and understand my prudence in the mystery of Christ.Verse 5Which was not known to other generations to the sons of men, as it is now showed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,Verse 6that heathen men be even-heirs, and of one body, and partners together of his promise in Christ Jesus by the evangel;Verse 7whose minister I am made, by the gift of God’s grace, which is given to me by the working of his virtue.Verse 8To me, least of all saints, this grace is given to preach [or to evangelize] among heathen men the unsearchable riches of Christ,Verse 9and to enlighten all men, which is the dispensation of [the] sacrament hid from worlds in God, that made all things of nought;Verse 10that the much-fold wisdom of God be known to princes and potentates in heavenly things by the church,Verse 11by the before-ordinance [or after the setting] of worlds, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord.Verse 12In whom we have trust and nigh coming [to], in trusting by the faith of him.Verse 13For which thing I ask, that ye fail not in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.Verse 14For grace of this thing I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,Verse 15of whom each fatherhood in heavens [or in heaven] and in earth is named,Verse 16that he give to you, after the riches of his glory, virtue to be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man,Verse 17that Christ dwell by faith in your hearts; that ye rooted and grounded in charity,Verse 18may comprehend with all saints, which is the breadth, and the length, and the highness, and the deepness;Verse 19also to know the charity of Christ more excellent than science, that ye be [full]-filled in all the plenty of God.Verse 20And to him that is mighty to do all things more plenteously than we ask or understand, by the virtue that worketh in us,Verse 21to him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus, into all the generations of the world[s] of worlds. Amen.
