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

² if-indeed you° have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God which was given to me $for you°;

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

⁴ to which, you° are able, by reading it, to perceive my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,

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.

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,

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

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;

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

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.

¹¹ This was according-to the purpose of the ages, which he made$ in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

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

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

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

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;

¹⁷ and for the Christ to dwell in your° hearts through the faith,

¹⁸ which have been rooted and founded in love$, in-order-that you° may have strength together-with all the holy-ones to grasp what is the width and length and depth and height,

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.

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

²¹ the glory is to him in the congregation$ in Christ Jesus to all generations forevermore. Amen.
