* For this cause I , Paul , the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles , * if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which has been given to me in you , * how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery (as I wrote above in [a ] few words , * by which , when ye read , ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of the Christ ), * which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit , * that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in the Christ by the gospel , * of which I was made a minister , according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the operation of his power . * 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 the Christ * and to make all [men ] see what [is ] the fellowship of the mystery , which from the ages has been hid in God , who created all things by Jesus Christ . * To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places ] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God , * according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord , * In whom we have security and access with confidence by the faith of him . * Therefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you , which is your glory . * For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ * (of whom the whole family in [the ] heavens and on earth is named ), * that he would grant you , according to the riches of his glory , to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man , * that the Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith , that ye , being rooted and grounded in charity , * may be able to [well ] comprehend with all saints what [is ] the breadth and length and depth and height * and to know the charity of the Christ , which passes all knowledge , that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God . * Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that works in us , * unto him [be ] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all generations of the ages of the ages . Amen .:
