3:1 For the grace of this thing I Paul, the bound of Christ Jesus [the bound of Jesus Christ], for you heathen men,
3:2 if nevertheless ye have heard the dispensation of God's grace, that is given to me in you.
3:3 For by revelation the sacrament is made known to me, as I above wrote in short thing,
3:4 as ye be able to read, and understand my prudence in the mystery of Christ. [as ye reading may understand my prudence in the mystery of Christ.]
3:5 Which was not known to other generations to the sons of men, as it is now showed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
3:6 that heathen men be even-heirs, and of one body, and partners together of his promise [and together partners of his promise] in Christ Jesus by the evangel;
3:7 whose minister I am made, by the gift of God's grace, which is given to me by the working of his virtue. [whose minister I am made, after the gift of God's grace, which is given to me after the working of his virtue.]
3:8 To me, least of all saints, this grace is given to preach among heathen men the unsearchable riches of Christ,
3:9 and to lighten all men [and to enlighten all men], which is the dispensation of [the] sacrament hid from worlds in God, that made all things of nought;
3:10 that the much-fold wisdom of God be known to princes and potentates in heavenly things by the church,
3:11 by the before-ordinance of worlds [after the setting of worlds], which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3:12 In whom we have trust and nigh coming [to], in trusting by the faith of him.
3:13 For which thing I ask, that ye fail not in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
3:14 For grace of this thing I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
3:15 of whom each fatherhood in heavens and in earth is named, [of whom each fatherhood in heaven and in earth is named,]
3:16 that he give to you, after the riches of his glory, virtue to be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man,
3:17 that Christ dwell by faith in your hearts; that ye rooted and grounded in charity,
3:18 be able to comprehend with all saints, which is the breadth, and the length, and the highness, and the deepness; [that ye may comprehend with all saints, which is the breadth, and length, and highness, and deepness;]
3:19 also to know the charity of Christ more excellent than science [also to know the charity of Christ above-seeming to science], that ye be filled in all the plenty of God.
3:20 And to him that is mighty to do all things more plenteously than we ask or understand, by the virtue that worketh in us [after the virtue that worketh in us],
3:21 to him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus, into all the generations of the world of worlds [into all the generations of the worlds of worlds]. Amen.
