KJ3 Literal Translation
Ephesians 3
5 The hidden mystery, 6 that the Gentiles should besaved, 3 was made known to Paul by revelation.
1Because of this, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you, the nations,
2if, indeed, you heard of the stewardship of the grace of God given to me for you,
3that by revelation He made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief,
4by the reading of which you are able to realize my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
5which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as now it was revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
6for the nations to be joint-heirs, and a joint-body and joint-partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,
7of which I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of His power.
8This grace was given to me, I being less than the least of all the saints, to preach the gospel of the incomprehensable riches of Christ among the nations,
9and to enlighten all, what is the fellowship of the mystery having been hidden from eternity in God, the One creating all things through Jesus Christ,
10so that now to the rulers and to the authorities in the heavenly realm might be made known through the Assembly the manifold wisdom of God,
11according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
12in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through His faith.
13Therefore, I ask you not to weaken at my afflictions on your behalf, which is your glory.
14For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15of whom every family in Heaven and on earth is named,
16that He may give you, according to the riches of His glory, by His power to be empowerd in the inward man through His Spirit,
17that through faith Christ may dwell in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18that you may have full strength to grasp, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
19and to know the surpassing knowledge and love of Christ, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.
20Now to the One being able to do beyond all things exceedingly above all of which we ask or think, according to the power of the One working in us,
21to Him be the glory in the Assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
