1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Ephesians 3

5 The hidden mystery, 6 that the Gentiles should be saved, 3 was made known to Paul by revelation: 8 and to him was that grace given, that 9 he should preach it. 13 He desireth them not to faint for his tribulation, 14 and prayeth, 19 that they may perceive the great love of Christ toward them.

 3:1 ¶ For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,

 3:2 if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,

 3:3 that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—

 3:4 in regard to which ye are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,

 3:5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit—

 3:6 that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,

 3:7 of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power;

 3:8 to me—the less than the least of all the saints—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ,

 3:9 and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

 3:10 that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

 3:11 according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

 3:12 in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

 3:13 wherefore, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

 3:15 of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,

 3:16 that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

 3:17 that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

 3:18 that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,

 3:19 to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled—to all the fulness of God;

 3:20 and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

 3:21 to Him [is] the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
