Ephesians 3 - Revised Standard Version Old Tradition 1952(RSV-C)

1For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—

2 God who created all things;

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

11This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

12in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him.

13So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

14For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

16that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,

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

18may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

20Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,

21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.
