[1] For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Messiah Yeshua on behalf of you Gentiles,

[2] if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,

[3] how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

[4] by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Messiah,

[5] which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy emissaries and prophets in the Spirit,

[6] that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Messiah Yeshua through the Good News,

[7] of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

[8] To me, the very least of all holy ones, was this grace given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Messiah,

[9] and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Yeshua the Messiah,

[10] to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

[11] according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

[12] In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

[13] Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

[14] For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

[15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

[16] that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

[17] that Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

[18] may be strengthened to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the width and length and height and depth,

[19] and to know Messiah’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

[20] Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

[21] to him be the glory in the assembly and in Messiah Yeshua to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
