**1 **For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, **2 **If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: **3 **How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, **4 **Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) **5 **Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; **6 **That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: **7 **Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. **8 **Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; **9 **And to make all *men* see what *is* the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: **10 **To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly *places* might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, **11 **According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: **12 **In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. **13 **Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

**14 **For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, **15 **Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, **16 **That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; **17 **That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, **18 **May be able to comprehend with all saints what *is* the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; **19 **And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

**20 **Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, **21 **Unto him *be* glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
