[KJV] chapters
[1],[2][4],[5],[6]
Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus
Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace
ofGod which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my
knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 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;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of
the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ
by the gospel:
7 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.
8 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;
9 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:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and
powers in heavenly places might be known by the
church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with
confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my
tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches
of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his
Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is
the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God.
20 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,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
