3:1  For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—
3:2  if indeed you heard of the stewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you;
3:3  that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.
3:4  About which, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
3:5  which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit:
3:6  that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
3:7  of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.
3:8  To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unfathomable riches of Christ,
3:9  and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;
3:10  so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.
3:11  This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,
3:12  in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.
3:13  Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my afflictions on your behalf, which are your glory.
3:14  For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
3:15  from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
3:16  that He would give you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
3:17  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being firmly rooted and grounded in love,
3:18  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
3:19  and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
3:20  Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or understand, according to the power that works within us,
3:21  to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
