Ephesians 3

Τούτου χάριν ἐγὼ Παῦλος ὁ δέσμιος τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν—

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...

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

εἴ γε ἠκούσατε τὴν οἰκονομίαν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς δοθείσης μοι εἰς ὑμᾶς·

Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

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

κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν ἐγνωρίσθη μοι τὸ μυστήριον, καθὼς προέγραψα ἐν ὀλίγῳ,

that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

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

πρὸς ὃ δύνασθε ἀναγινώσκοντες νοῆσαι τὴν σύνεσίν μου ἐν τῷ μυστηρίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ,

In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

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

ὃ ἑτέραις γενεαῖς οὐκ ἐγνωρίσθη τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὡς νῦν ἀπεκαλύφθη τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀποστόλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ προφήταις ἐν πνεύματι,

which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

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;

εἶναι τὰ ἔθνη συγκληρονόμα καὶ σύσσωμα καὶ συμμέτοχα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,

This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

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

οὗ ἐγενήθην διάκονος κατὰ τὴν δωρεὰν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς δοθείσης μοι κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ—

I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.

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.

ἐμοὶ τῷ ἐλαχιστοτέρῳ πάντων ἁγίων ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις αὕτη— τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εὐαγγελίσασθαι τὸ ἀνεξιχνίαστον πλοῦτος τοῦ Χριστοῦ,

Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

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;

καὶ φωτίσαι πάντας τίς ἡ οἰκονομία τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ ἀποκεκρυμμένου ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων ἐν τῷ θεῷ τῷ τὰ πάντα κτίσαντι,

and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.

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:

ἵνα γνωρισθῇ νῦν ταῖς ἀρχαῖς καὶ ταῖς ἐξουσίαις ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις διὰ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἡ πολυποίκιλος σοφία τοῦ θεοῦ,

His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

κατὰ πρόθεσιν τῶν αἰώνων ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν,

according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν παρρησίαν καὶ προσαγωγὴν ἐν πεποιθήσει διὰ τῆς πίστεως αὐτοῦ.

In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.

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

διὸ αἰτοῦμαι μὴ ἐγκακεῖν ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσίν μου ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶν δόξα ὑμῶν.

So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

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

Τούτου χάριν κάμπτω τὰ γόνατά μου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα,

... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

ἐξ οὗ πᾶσα πατριὰ ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ὀνομάζεται,

from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

ἵνα δῷ ὑμῖν κατὰ τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ δυνάμει κραταιωθῆναι διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον,

I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

κατοικῆσαι τὸν Χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ· ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι,

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

ἵνα ἐξισχύσητε καταλαβέσθαι σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις τί τὸ πλάτος καὶ μῆκος καὶ ὕψος καὶ βάθος,

will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

γνῶναί τε τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν τῆς γνώσεως ἀγάπην τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα πληρωθῆτε εἰς πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ θεοῦ.

of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Τῷ δὲ δυναμένῳ ὑπὲρ πάντα ποιῆσαι ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ ὧν αἰτούμεθα ἢ νοοῦμεν κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἡμῖν,

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,

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,

αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.

to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
