Ephesians 3 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Paul's Stewardship

Eph 3:1

Eph 3:1For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

Eph 3:2

Eph 3:2if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you;

Eph 3:3

Eph 3:3that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

Eph 3:4

Eph 3:4 [fn]By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight [fn]into the mystery of Christ,

Eph 3:5

Eph 3:5which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets [fn]in the Spirit;

Eph 3:6

Eph 3:6to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

Eph 3:7

Eph 3:7of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

Eph 3:8

Eph 3:8To me, the very least of all [fn]saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,

Eph 3:9

Eph 3:9and to [fn]bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

Eph 3:10

Eph 3:10so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.

Eph 3:11

Eph 3:11This was in accordance with the [fn]eternal purpose which He [fn]carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Eph 3:12

Eph 3:12in whom we have boldness and [fn]confident access through faith [fn]in Him.

Eph 3:13

Eph 3:13Therefore I ask [fn]you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, [fn]for they are your glory.

Eph 3:14

Eph 3:14For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

Eph 3:15

Eph 3:15from whom [fn]every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

Eph 3:16

Eph 3:16that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,

Eph 3:17

Eph 3:17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

Eph 3:18

Eph 3:18may be able to comprehend with all the [fn]saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

Eph 3:19

Eph 3:19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Eph 3:20

Eph 3:20Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

Eph 3:21

Eph 3:21to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations [fn]forever and ever. Amen.
