Ephesians - Chapter: 3

>
3:1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles,
3:2If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to youward:
3:3How that by reuelation hee made knowen vnto me the mysterie, (as I wrote afore in few words,
3:4Whereby when ye reade, ye may vnderstand my knowledge in the mysterie of Christ.)
3:5Which in other ages was not made knowen vnto the sonnes of men, as it is now reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit,
3:6That the Gentiles should be fellow heires, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ, by the Gospel:
3:7Whereof I was made a Minister, according to the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto mee, by the effectuall working of his power.
3:8Unto mee, who am lesse then the least of all Saints, is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable riches of Christ,
3:9And to make all men see, what is the fellowship of the mysterie, which from the beginning of the world, hath bene hid in God, who created all things by Iesus Christ:
3:10To the intent that now vnto the principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the church, the manifold wisedome of God,
3:11According to the eternall purpose which he purposed in Christ Iesus our Lord:
3:12In whom we haue boldnesse and accesse, with confidence, by the faith of him.
3:13Wherefore I desire that yee faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
3:14For this cause I bow my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
3:15Of whom the whole family in heauen and earth is named,
3:16That he would grant you according to the riches of his glory, to bee strengthened with might, by his Spirit in the inner man,
3:17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that yee being rooted and grounded in loue,
3:18May be able to comprehend with all Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:
3:19And to know the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that yee might bee filled with all the fulnesse of God.
3:20Now vnto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly aboue all that wee aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs,
3:21Unto him be glory in the Church by Christ Iesus, throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

 

3:1For this cause I Paul am a presoner of Iesus Christ for you Heythen,
3:2acordinge as ye haue herde of ye office of the grace of God which is geuen me to you warde.
3:3For by reuelacion was this mystery shewed vnto me, as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes:
3:4wherby whan ye rede it, ye maye perceaue myne vnderstondynge in ye mystery of Christ,
3:5which (mystery) in tymes past was not opened vnto the childre of me as it is now declared to his holy Apostles and prophetes by the sprete: namely,
3:6that the Heythen shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promes in Christ by the Gospell,
3:7wherof I am made a mynister acordynge to the gifte of the grace of God, which is geue me acordinge to the workynge of his power.
3:8Vnto me the leest of all sayntes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preach amonge the Heythe ye vnsearcheable riches of Christ,
3:9and to make all men se, what is the fellishippe of the mystery, which fro the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hyd in God, which made all thiges thorow Iesus Christ:
3:10to the intent that now vnto the rulers and powers in heaue mighte be knowne by the congregacion the manifolde wyssdome off God,
3:11acordinge to ye eternall purpose, which he hath shewed in Christ Iesu oure LORDE
3:12by whom we haue boldnesse and intraunce in all confidece thorow faith on him.
3:13Wherfore I desyre that ye faynte not because of my tribulacions, yt I suffre for you, which is youre prayse.
3:14For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ,
3:15which is the true father, ouer all that is called father in heauen and in earth,
3:16that he graunte you (acordinge to ye riches of his glory) to be strengthed with power by his sprete in ye inwarde ma,
3:17that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by faith, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue,
3:18maye be able to coprehende with all sayntes, what is the bredth, and the length, and the deepth, and the heyth:
3:19and to knowe the loue of Christ, which loue yet passeth all knowlege: that ye maye be fylled with all maner of fulnesse of God.
3:20Vnto him that is able to do exceadinge abundauntly, aboue all that we axe or vnderstonde (acordinge to ye power that worketh in vs)
3:21be prayse in the congregacion, which is in Christ Iesu, at all tymes for euer and euer, Amen.
