Ephesians 3

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

τουτου χαριν εγω παυλος ο δεσμιος του χριστου ιησου υπερ υμων των εθνων,

2if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

ειγε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν της χαριτος του θεου της δοθεισης μοι εις υμας,

3how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

οτι κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισεν μοι το μυστηριον, καθως προεγραψα εν ολιγω,

4by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

προς ο δυνασθε αναγινωσκοντες νοησαι την συνεσιν μου εν τω μυστηριω του χριστου,

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

ο ετεραις γενεαις ουκ εγνωρισθη τοις υιοις των ανθρωπων ως νυν απεκαλυφθη τοις αγιοις αποστολοις αυτου και προφηταις εν πνευματι,

6that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

ειναι τα εθνη συγκληρονομα και συσσωμα και συμμετοχα της επαγγελιας αυτου εν τω χριστω δια του ευαγγελιου,

7of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

ου εγενομην διακονος κατα την δωρεαν της χαριτος του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι κατα την ενεργειαν της δυναμεως αυτου.

8To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων των αγιων εδοθη η χαρις αυτη, εν τοις εθνεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι τον ανεξιχνιαστον πλουτον του χριστου

9and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

και φωτισαι παντας τις η οικονομια του μυστηριου του αποκεκρυμμενου απο των αιωνων εν τω θεω, τω τα παντα κτισαντι δια ιησου χριστου,

10to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταις αρχαις και ταις εξουσιαις εν τοις επουρανιοις δια της εκκλησιας η πολυποικιλος σοφια του θεου,

11according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

κατα προθεσιν των αιωνων ην εποιησεν εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων,

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

εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και την προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια της πιστεως αυτου.

13Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

διο αιτουμαι μη εκκακειν εν ταις θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων, ητις εστιν δοξα υμων.

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

τουτου χαριν καμπτω τα γονατα μου προς τον πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου,

15from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοις και επι γης ονομαζεται,

16that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

ινα δωη υμιν κατα τον πλουτον της δοξης αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματος αυτου εις τον εσω ανθρωπον,

17that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια της πιστεως εν ταις καρδιαις υμων,

18may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

εν αγαπη ερριζωμενοι και τεθεμελιωμενοι ινα εξισχυσητε καταλαβεσθαι συν πασιν τοις αγιοις τι το πλατος και μηκος και βαθος και υψος,

19to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

γνωναι τε την υπερβαλλουσαν της γνωσεως αγαπην του χριστου, ινα πληρωθητε εις παν το πληρωμα του θεου.

20Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

τω δε δυναμενω υπερ παντα ποιησαι υπερεκπερισσου ων αιτουμεθα η νοουμεν, κατα την δυναμιν την ενεργουμενην εν ημιν,

21to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

αυτω η δοξα εν τη εκκλησια εν χριστω ιησου εις πασας τας γενεας του αιωνος των αιωνων· αμην.
