1For this cause I Paul the servant of Jesus (Christ) am in bonds; For your sakes which are gentiles.(heathen:)
2If ye have heard of the ministration of the grace of God which is given me to you ward:
3For by revelation shewed he this mystery unto me, as I wrote above in few words,
4whereby, when ye read ye may know mine understanding in the ministery(mystery) of Christ,
5which mystery in times passed was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit:
6that the gentiles should be inheritors also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise that is in Christ, by the means of the gospel,(gospell)
7whereof I am made a minister, by the gift of the grace of God given unto me, after(thorow) the working of his power.
8Unto me the least of all saints is this grace given, that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9and to give light to(make) all men,(see) that they might know what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God which made all things thorow Jesus Christ,
10to the intent, that now unto the rulers and powers in heaven might be known by the congregation the manyfold wisdom of God,
11according to that eternal purpose, which he purposed(hath shewed) in Christ Jesu our Lord,
12by whom we are bold to draw nigh in that trust, which we have by faith on him.(by whom we have boldness and entrance in all confidence thorow faith on him)
13Wherefore I desire, that ye faint not because of mine(my) tribulations which I suffer for you:(your sakes:) which is your praise.
14For this cause I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15which is father(the true father) over all that is called father In heaven and in earth, that he would grant you according to the riches of his glory,
16that ye may be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man,
17that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye being rooted and grounded in love,
18might be able to comprehend with all saints, what is that breadth and length, depth and height:(heyth)
19and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God.
20Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think,(understand) according to the power that worketh in us,
21be praise in the congregation by(which is in) Jesus Christ, thorow out all generations from time to time.(at all times for ever and ever) Amen.
