(if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,
that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,
how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,
by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,)
by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),
which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,
which 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:
that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;
that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

To 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,
and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things,
in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,
according to [the] purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,
according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.
in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.
Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Paul's Prayer for the Ephesians
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],
of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,
from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,

may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height —
and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
