\subsection{Ephesians 3}
|
|
\VS{1} On account of this I Paul the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf [of you] the
|
|
nations ---
|
|
\VS{2} if you have heard the management of the grace of God
|
|
given to me towards you ---
|
|
\VS{3} that according to revelation was the
|
|
mystery made known to me, just as I wrote before in [a] few [words],
|
|
\VS{4} by which
|
|
you are able, when reading, to understand my insight in the mystery of
|
|
Christ,
|
|
\VS{5} who to other generations was not made known to the sons of
|
|
men as he is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the] spirit,
|
|
\VS{6} that the nations be co-heirs and co-body and co-sharers of the
|
|
promise in Christ Jesus through the good-news,
|
|
\VS{7} of which I became [a]
|
|
servant according to the working of his ability.
|
|
\VS{8} To me the least of
|
|
all [the] holy [ones] he has given this grace: to good-news to the nations the
|
|
incomprehensible wealth of the Christ,
|
|
\VS{9} and to enlighten everyone what
|
|
is the management of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created
|
|
everything,
|
|
\VS{10} in order that now be made known to the principalities and to the authorities
|
|
in the heavenlies through the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} the multifaceted wisdom of God.
|
|
\VS{11} According to the purpose of the eternities which he
|
|
did in Christ Jesus our Lord,
|
|
\VS{12} in whom we have the boldness and
|
|
access in confidence through faith in him.
|
|
\VS{13} Therefore I ask\fnAiteo{} [that you] not be
|
|
despairing in my afflictions in your behalf, which is your glory.
|
|
\VS{14} On account of this I bend my knees towards the father,
|
|
\VS{15} from whom every family in [the] heavens and upon [the] earth is named,
|
|
\VS{16} in order that he give to
|
|
you, according to the wealth of his glory, to be strengthened with ability
|
|
through his spirit in the inner man,
|
|
\VS{17} [that] Christ dwell through faith in
|
|
your hearts, in agape-love being rooted and being founded,
|
|
\VS{18} in order that you be strong enough to attain with all the holy [ones]
|
|
what [is] the breadth and length and height and depth,
|
|
\VS{19} and to know the agape-love of Christ, surpassing knowledge,
|
|
in order that you be filled in all the fullness of God.
|
|
\VS{20} So to the [one] being able above everything to do well-beyond what
|
|
we ask\fnAiteo{} or think according to the ability working in us,
|
|
\VS{21} to him [be] the
|
|
glory in the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} and in Christ Jesus to all the generations of the
|
|
eternity of eternities, Amen.
