¶ For this cause I¹ Paul, the² prisoner of Jesus Christ for³ you Gentiles,

If ye⁴ have heard of the dispensation⁵ of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

How that by⁶ revelation he made known unto me the mystery⁷; (as I⁸ wrote afore⁹ in few words,

Whereby, when ye read, ye may¹⁰ understand my knowledge in the mystery¹¹ of Christ)

Which in other¹² ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it¹³ is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by¹⁴ the Spirit;

That the Gentiles¹⁵ should be fellowheirs, and of the same¹⁶ body, and partakers¹⁷ of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Whereof I¹⁸ was made a minister, according¹⁹ to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by²⁰ the effectual working of his power.

Unto me, who am²¹ less than the least of all saints, is this²² grace given, that I²³ should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable²⁴ riches of Christ;

And to²⁵ make all men see what is the fellowship²⁶ of the mystery, which from the beginning²⁷ of the world hath been hid²⁸ in God, who created²⁹ all things by Jesus Christ:

¶ To the intent³⁰ that now unto the principalities³¹ and powers in³² heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold³³ wisdom of God,

³⁴According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

³⁵In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Wherefore I desire that ye³⁶ faint not at³⁷ my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¶ For this cause I³⁸ bow my knees unto the Father³⁹ of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Of whom the whole⁴⁰ family in heaven and earth is⁴¹ named,

That he would grant you, according⁴² to the riches of his glory, to be⁴³ strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner⁴⁴ man;

That Christ⁴⁵ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being⁴⁶ rooted and grounded⁴⁷ in love,

May be able⁴⁸ to comprehend with⁴⁹ all saints what⁵⁰ is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know⁵¹ the love of Christ, which passeth⁵² knowledge, that ye⁵³ might be filled with all the fulness of God.

¶ Now unto him that is able⁵⁴ to do exceeding⁵⁵ abundantly above all that we ask or think, according⁵⁶ to the power that worketh in us,

Unto him be⁵⁷ glory in the church by⁵⁸ Christ Jesus throughout⁵⁹ all ages, world without end. Amen.
