God’s Marvellous Plan for the Gentiles
3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus
Christ for you Gentiles,
3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of
God which is given me to you-ward:
3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge
in the mystery of Christ)
3:5 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;
3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the
same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the
gospel:
3:7 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.
3:8 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;
3:9 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:
3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and
powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the
manifold wisdom of God,
3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in
Christ Jesus our Lord:
3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by
the faith of him.
3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my
tribulations for you, which is your glory.
A Prayer for the Ephesians
3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of
his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in
the inner man;
3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that
ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of
God.
3:20 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,
3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. |
