El ministerio de Pablo a los gentiles

Por esta causa yo, Pablo, prisioneroa de Cristo Jesúsb por amor de vosotrosc los gentilesd (si en verdad habéis oído de la dispensación1 de la gracia de Dios que me fue dada para vosotrosa; que por revelacióna me fue dado a conocerb el misterioc, tal como antes os escribí brevemented. En vista de lo cual, leyendo1, podréis2 comprender mi discernimientoa del3 misterio de Cristob, que en otras generaciones no se dio a conocer a los hijos de los hombres, como ahora ha sido revelado a sus santos apóstoles y profetasa por1 el Espíritu; a saber, que los gentiles son coherederosa y miembros del mismo cuerpob, participando igualmente1c de la promesa en Cristo Jesúsd mediante el evangelio, del cual fui hecho ministroa, conforme al don de la gracia de Dios que se me ha concedidob según la eficacia1 de su poderc. A mí, que soy menos que el más pequeño de todos los santosa, se me concedió esta gracia: anunciar a los gentilesb las inescrutables riquezas de Cristoc, y sacar a luz cuál es la dispensación1 del misterioa que por los siglos ha estado oculto en Diosb, creador de todas las cosasc; 10 a fin de que la infinita1 sabiduría de Diosa sea ahora dada a conocerb por medio de la iglesia a los principados y potestadesc en las regiones celestialesd, 11 conforme al propósito eterno1a que llevó a cabo2 en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señorb, 12 en quien tenemos libertad y accesoa a Dios con confianzab por medio de la fe en Él1. 13 Ruego, por tanto, que no desmayéis1a a causa de mis tribulaciones por vosotrosb, porque son vuestra gloria)2.

Pablo ora otra vez por los efesios

14 Por esta causa, pues, doblo mis rodillasa ante el Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo1, 15 de quien recibe nombre toda familia1 en el cielo y en la tierra, 16 que os conceda, conforme a las riquezas de su gloriaa, ser fortalecidosb con poder por su Espíritu en el hombre interiorc; 17 de manera que Cristo more por la fe en vuestros corazonesa; y que arraigadosb y cimentadosc en amor, 18 seáis capaces de comprender con todos los santosa cuál es la anchura, la longitud, la altura y la profundidadb, 19 y de conocer el amor de Cristoa que sobrepasa el conocimientob, para que seáis llenosc hasta la medida de toda la plenitud de Diosd.

Doxología

20 Y a aquel que es poderosoa para hacer todo mucho más abundantementeb de lo que pedimos o entendemos1, según el poder que obra en nosotrosc, 21 a Él sea la gloria en la iglesia y en Cristo Jesús por todas las generaciones, por los siglos de los siglos. Aména.

Paul’s Stewardship

For this reason because I preach that you and believing Jews are joint heirs I, Paul, am athe prisoner of bChrist Jesus con behalf of you dGentiles— assuming that you have heard of the astewardship of God’s grace that was entrusted to me to share with you for your benefit; and athat bby divine revelation cthe mystery was dmade known to me, eas I have already written in brief. Eph 1:9 By referring to this, when you read it you can understand amy insight into the bmystery of Christ, which in other generations was not disclosed to mankind, as it has now been revealed to His holy aapostles and prophets by the Holy Spirit; it is this: that the Gentiles are now ajoint heirs with the Jews and bmembers of the same body, and cjoint partakers sharing in the same divine promise in dChrist Jesus through their faith in the good news of salvation. aOf this gospel I was made a bminister by the gift of cGod’s grace given me dthrough the working of His power. To me, though I am athe very least of all the saints (God’s people) , this grace which is undeserved was graciously given, to bproclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the incomprehensible criches of Christ that spiritual wealth which no one can fully understand, and to make plain to everyone the plan of the amystery regarding the uniting of believing Jews and Gentiles into one body which until now was kept bhidden through the ages in the mind of God cwho created all things. 10 So now through the church the multifaceted awisdom of God in all its countless aspects might now be bmade known revealing the mystery to the angelic crulers and authorities in dthe heavenly places. 11 This is in aaccordance with the terms of the eternal purpose which He carried out in bChrist Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and aconfident baccess through faith in Him that is, our faith gives us sufficient courage to freely and openly approach God through Christ. 13 So I ask you not ato lose heart at my sufferings bon your behalf, for they are your glory and honor.

14 For this reason grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ I abow my knees in reverence before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth 1derives its name God—the first and ultimate Father. 16 May He grant you out of athe riches of His glory, to be bstrengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in cyour inner self, indwelling your innermost being and personality, 17 so that aChrist may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been deeply brooted and securely cgrounded in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with aall the saints (God’s people) bthe width and length and height and depth of His love fully experiencing that amazing, endless love; 19 and that you may come to know practically, through personal experience athe love of Christ which far bsurpasses mere knowledge without experience, that you may be cfilled up throughout your being to all the dfullness of God so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself.

20 aNow to Him who is bable to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, caccording to His power that is at work within us, 21 ato Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.
