For this reason I, Paul, ^athe prisoner of ^bChrist Jesus ^con behalf of you ^dGentiles— 2 if indeed you heard of the ^astewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you; 3 ^athat ^bby revelation there was ^cmade known to me ^dthe mystery, ^eas I wrote before in brief. 4 About which, when you read you can understand ^amy insight ¹into the ^bmystery of Christ, 5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy ^aapostles and prophets ¹in the Spirit: 6 that the Gentiles are ^afellow heirs and ^bfellow members of the body, and ^cfellow partakers of the promise in ^dChrist Jesus through the gospel, 7 ^aof which I was made a ^bminister, according to the gift of ^cGod’s grace which was given to me ^daccording to the working of His power. 8 To me, ^athe very least of all ¹saints, this grace was given, to ^bproclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unfathomable ^criches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the ^amystery which for ages has been ^bhidden in God ^cwho created all things; 10 so that the manifold ^awisdom of God might now be ^bmade known through the church to the ^crulers and the authorities in ^dthe heavenly places. 11 This was in ^aaccordance with the ¹eternal purpose which He ²carried out in ^bChrist Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and ^1aconfident ^baccess through faith ²in Him. 13 Therefore I ask ¹you not ^ato lose heart at my afflictions ^bon your behalf, which are your glory.

14 For this reason I ^abow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom ¹every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that He would give you, according to ^athe riches of His glory, to be ^bstrengthened with power through His Spirit in ^cthe inner man, 17 so that ^aChrist may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being firmly ^brooted and ^cgrounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with ^aall the ¹saints what is ^bthe breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know ^athe love of Christ which ^bsurpasses knowledge, that you may be ^cfilled up to all the ^dfullness of God.

20 ^aNow to Him who is ^bable to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or understand, ^caccording to the power that works within us, 21 ^ato Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations ¹forever and ever. Amen.
