Ephesians:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For this cause I Paul ,
the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles ,
*
If ye have heard (
5656 )
of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given (
5685 )
me to you-ward :
*
How that by revelation he made known (
5656 )
unto me the mystery ; (
as I wrote afore (
5656 )
in few words ,
*
Whereby ,
when ye read (
5723 ),
ye may (
5736 )
understand (
5658 )
my knowledge in the mystery of Christ )
*
Which in other ages was not made known (
5681 )
unto the sons of men ,
as it is now revealed (
5681 )
unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit ;
*
That the Gentiles should be (
5750 )
fellowheirs ,
and of the same body ,
and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel :
*
Whereof I was made (
5633 )
a minister ,
according to the gift of the grace of God given (
5685 )
unto me by the effectual working of his power .
*
Unto me ,
who am less than the least of all saints ,
is this grace given (
5681 ),
that I should preach (
5670 )
among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ ;
*
And to make all men see (
5658 )
what is the fellowship of the mystery ,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid (
5772 )
in God ,
who created (
5660 )
all things by Jesus Christ :
*
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known (
5686 )
by the church the manifold wisdom of God ,
*
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed (
5656 )
in Christ Jesus our Lord :
*
In whom we have (
5719 )
boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him .
*
Wherefore I desire (
5731 )
that ye faint (
5721 )
not at my tribulations for you ,
which is (
5748 )
your glory .
*
For this cause I bow (
5719 )
my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
*
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named (
5743 ),
*
That he would grant (
5632 ) (
5630 )
you ,
according to the riches of his glory ,
to be strengthened (
5683 )
with might by his Spirit in the inner man ;
*
That Christ may dwell (
5658 )
in your hearts by faith ;
that ye ,
being rooted (
5772 )
and grounded (
5772 )
in love ,
*
May be able (
5661 )
to comprehend (
5641 )
with all saints what is the breadth ,
and length ,
and depth ,
and height ;
*
And to know (
5629 )
the love of Christ ,
which passeth (
5723 )
knowledge ,
that ye might be filled (
5686 )
with all the fulness of God .
*
Now unto him that is able (
5740 )
to do (
5658 )
exceeding abundantly above all that we ask (
5731 )
or think (
5719 ),
according to the power that worketh (
5734 )
in us ,
*
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages ,
world without end .
Amen .
