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