Ephesians 3: ²⁰ 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, (2)

258

¹⁸ may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, (9)

¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of GOD.

147

⁹ and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. (9)

¹⁰ His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,

¹¹ according to His Eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

258

¹⁵ from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. (6)

¹⁶ I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

138

⁶ This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. (6)

⁷ I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of GOD’s Grace given me through the working of His power.

⁸ Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this Grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ,

138

²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (3)

138

¹² In him and through faith in Him we may approach GOD with freedom and confidence. (3)

¹³ I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

A Prayer for the Ephesians

¹⁴ For this reason I kneel before the Father,

GOD’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles

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

² Surely you have heard about the administration of GOD’s grace that was given to me for you,

³ that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. (3)

⁴ In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

⁵ which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to GOD’s holy apostles and prophets.

Galatians 5: 258 ²⁵ Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. (7)
