3:1  For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—
3:2  assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,
3:3  how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.
3:4  When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ,
3:5  which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
3:6  This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
3:7  Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power.
3:8  To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
3:9  and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things,
3:10  so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
3:11  This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
3:12  in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.
3:13  So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is 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 according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
3:17  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
3:18  may have strength 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 that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
3:20  Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,
3:21  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.
