Efesus 3:8-21
3:8 To me – less than the least of all the saints
1 – this grace was given,
2 to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ
3:9 and to enlighten
3 everyone about God’s secret plan
4 – a secret that has been hidden for ages
5 in God
6 who has created all things.
3:10 The purpose of this enlightenment is that
7 through the church the multifaceted wisdom
8 of God should now be disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms.
3:11 This was according to
9 the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
3:12 in whom we have boldness and confident access
10 to God
11 because of
12 Christ’s
13 faithfulness.
14
3:13 For this reason I ask you
15 not to lose heart because of what I am suffering for you,
16 which
17 is your glory.
18
Prayer for Strengthened Love
3:14 For this reason 19 I kneel 20 before the Father, 21
3:15 from 22 whom every family 23 in heaven and on the earth is named.
3:16 I pray that 24 according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, so that, because you have been rooted and grounded in love,
3:18 you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 25
3:19 and thus to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled up to 26 all the fullness of God.
3:20 Now to him who by the power that is working within us 27 is able to do far beyond 28 all that we ask or think,
3:21 to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
