3:1 Because of this, I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you* Gentiles,

3:2 if actually you* have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God which was given to me *for you*;

3:3 that he made known the mystery to me according to revelation, just-as I wrote before in few words,

3:4 to which, you* are able, by reading it, to perceive my understanding in the mystery of the Christ;

3:5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it now was revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit.

3:6 The mystery is that the Gentiles are to be joint heirs and a joint body and joint partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news,

3:7 of which I became a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

3:8 This grace was given to me the least of all the holy-ones, to proclaim the good-news of the untraceable riches of Christ among the Gentiles;

3:9 and to enlighten all with what the stewardship of the mystery is, of which has been hidden from the ages, in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

3:10 in order that now the multifaceted wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places through the congregation* of believers.

3:11 This was according to the everlasting purpose which he made* in Christ Jesus our Lord;

3:12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.

3:13 Hence I am asking you* not to be depressed at my afflictions on your* behalf, which are your* glory.


3:14 Because of this, I am bowing my knees to the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

3:15 from whom every family in the heavens and upon the earth is named,

3:16 in order that he may give to you*, according to the riches of his glory, to be powerful with his power, through his Spirit in the inward man;

3:17 for the Christ to dwell in your* hearts through the faith,

3:18 having been rooted and having been founded in love, in order that you may have strength to grab, together with all the holy-ones, of what is the width and length and depth and height,

3:19 and to know the love* of the Christ which surpasses knowledge, in order that you* may be filled to all the fullness of God.

3:20 Now to the one who is able to do, exceptionally beyond all things, what we are asking or are perceiving, according to the power which is working in us,

3:21 the glory is to him in the congregation* in Christ Jesus to all generations forevermore. Amen.
