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
is given
me
to
you-ward
:
How that by
revelation
he made known
unto me
the mystery
; (as
I wrote afore
in
few words
,
Whereby, when ye read
, ye may
understand
my
knowledge
in
the mystery
of Christ
)
Which in
other
ages
was
not
made known
unto the sons
of men
, as
it is
now
revealed
unto his
holy
apostles
and
prophets
by
the Spirit
;
That the Gentiles should be
fellowheirs
, and
of the same body
, and
partakers
of his
promise
in
Christ
by
the gospel
:
Whereof I was made
a minister
, according
to the gift
of the grace
of God
given
unto me
by
the effectual working
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 Christ
;
And to make
all
men see
what
is the fellowship
of the mystery
, which
from
the beginning of the world
hath 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
boldness
and
access
with
confidence
by
the faith
of him
.
Wherefore 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
heaven
and
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 Christ may dwell
in
your
hearts
by
faith
; that
ye, being rooted
and
grounded
in
love
,
May be able to comprehend
with
all
saints
what
is the breadth
, and
length
, and
depth
, and
height
;
And to know
the love
of Christ
, which passeth
knowledge
, that
ye might be filled
with
all
the fulness
of God
.
Now unto him that is able
to do
exceeding
abundantly
above
all
that
we ask
or
think
, according to
the power
that worketh
in
us
,
Unto him be glory
in
the church
by
Christ
Jesus
throughout
all
ages
, world
without end
. Amen
.
