The Mystery of Gentiles Included in Christ
1   For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2   If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you:
3   How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,
4   By which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
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;
6   That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7   Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8   Unto me, who am less than the least of all holy ones, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9   And to make all men see what is the plan of the  mystery,  which  from  the  beginning  of  the ages has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
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,
11   According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12   In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him.
13   Therefore I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Paul’s Prayer of Ephesian Growth
14   For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15   Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16   That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17   That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;  that  you,  being  rooted  and  grounded  in love,
18   May be able to comprehend with all holy ones what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19   And  to  know  the  love  of  Christ,  which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
20   Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21   Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
