Ephesians 3

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

²If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,

³How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,

⁴By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ;

⁵Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

⁶Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,

⁷Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

⁸To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

⁹And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things;

¹⁰So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,

¹¹Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹²By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.

¹³For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.
