Ephesians 3

¹For this reason I Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,

²(if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,

³that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,

⁴by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,)

⁵which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,

⁶that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;

⁷of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.

⁸To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

⁹and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things,

¹⁰in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

¹¹according to [the] purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹²in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.
