3:1  For this reason, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--
3:2  you have heard, haven't you, about the administration of God's grace that He gave to me for you?
3:3  The mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have briefly written above.
3:4  By reading this you are able to understand my insight about the mystery of the Messiah.
3:5  This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:
3:6  The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
3:7  I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace that was given to me by the working of His power.
3:8  This grace was given to me--the least of all the saints--to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches of the Messiah,
3:9  and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.
3:10  This is so God's multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.
3:11  This is according to His eternal purpose accomplished in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord.
3:12  In Him we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.
3:13  So then I ask you not to be discouraged over my afflictions on your behalf, for they are your glory.
3:14  For this reason I kneel before the Father
3:15  from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.
3:16  I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit,
3:17  and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love,
3:18  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love,
3:19  and to know the Messiah's love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
3:20  Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us--
3:21  to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
