Ephesians 3:1-13
The Mystery of the Gospel

1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

1:

2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

2:

3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

3:

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

4:

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;

5:

6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

6:

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.

7:

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;

8:

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:

9:

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,

10:

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

11:

12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

12:

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

13:
