1 For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

2 since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,

3 that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

4 With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,

5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.

6 For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news.

7 Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power.

8 To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good-news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,

9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.

10 So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,

11 according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.

13 Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom every patriarchy in heavens and on earth is named.

16 So that he would grant you, according to the wealth of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit for the inner man.

17 For the Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith,

18 having been rooted and grounded in love, so that ye may be able to grasp with all the sanctified what is the breadth and length and depth and height,

19 and to become aware of the love of the Christ, which transcends knowledge, so that ye may be filled in all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do above extraordinary--above all things that we ask or think--according to the power that works in us,

21 to him is the glory in the church in Christ Jesus for all generations of the age of the ages. Truly.

1 For this cause I Paul a in ye bodes of Iesus christ for youre sakes which are hethen:

2 Yf ye have hearde of the ministracion of the grace of god which is geven me to you warde.

3 For by revelacion shewed he this mistery vnto me as I wrote above in feawe wordes

4 wher by when ye rede ye maye knowe myne vnderstondynge in the mistery of Christ

5 which mistery in tymes passed was not opened vnto the sonnes of men as it is nowe declared vnto his holy apostles and prophetes by the sprete:

6 that the gentyls shuld be inheritours also and of the same body and partakers of his promis yt is in Christ by ye meanes of the gospell

7 whereof I am made a minister by the gyfte of the grace of god geve vnto me thorow ye workynge of his power.

8 Vnto me the lest of all sayntes is this grace geven that I shuld preache amonge the gentyls the unsearchable ryches of Christ

9 and to make all men se what the felyshippe of the mistery is which from the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hid in God which made all thynges thorow Iesus Christ

10 to the intent that now vnto the rulars and powers in heven myght be knowe by the cogregacion ye many folde wisdome of god

11 accordinge to ye eternall purpose which he purposed in Christ Iesu oure lorde

12 by who we are bolde to drawe nye in ye trust which we have by faith on hi

13 Wherfore I desire yt ye faynt not because of my trybulacios for youre sakes: which is youre prayse.

14 For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the father of oure lorde Iesus Christ

15 which is father over all that ys called father In heven and in erth

16 that he wolde graunt you acordynge to the ryches of his glory that ye maye be strenghted with myght by his sprete in the inner man

17 yt Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth yt ye beynge roted and grounded in loue

18 myght be able to comprehende with all sayntes what ys that bredth aud length deepth and heyth:

19 and to knowe what is the love of Christ which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fulnes which commeth of God.

20 Vnto him that is able to do excedynge aboudantly above all that we axe or thynke accordynge to the power that worketh in vs

21 be prayse in the congregacion by Iesus Christ thorow out all generacios from tyme to tyme Amen.
