* For this reason I Paul , the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles , * since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God , which was given to me for you , * that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery , as I wrote before in brief . * With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ , * which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men , as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets . * For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs , and of the same body , and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news . * Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God , which was given to me according to the working of his power . * To me , a man less than the least of all the sanctified , this grace was given to preach good-news among the Gentiles , the unsearchable wealth of Christ , * and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ . * So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things , through the church , * according to the purpose of the ages , which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord , * in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith . * Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf , which is your glory . * For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , * from whom every patriarchy in heavens and on earth is named . * So that he would grant you , according to the wealth of his glory , to be strengthened with power through his Spirit for the inner man . * For the Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith , * having been rooted and grounded in love , so that ye may be able to grasp with all the sanctified what is the breadth and length and depth and height , * and to become aware of the love of the Christ , which transcends knowledge , so that ye may be filled in all the fullness of God . * Now to him who is able to do above extraordinary--above all things that we ask or think--according to the power that works in us , * to him is the glory in the church in Christ Jesus for all generations of the age of the ages . Truly .
