Ephesians 3: 1, 14a
"For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you
Gentiles . . . bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
. . ."
Ephesians
3:1-5 "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ
for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace
of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made
known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, whereby,
when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
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 . . ."
Ephesians
3:6-13 "That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of
the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of
God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who
am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should
preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to
make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created
all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities
and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the
manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence
by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations
for you, which is your glory."
Ephesians
3:15-19 "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth
is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; that Christ
may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded
in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God."
Ephesians
3:20-4:1 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh
in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout
all ages, world without end. Amen.
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy
of the vocation wherewith ye are called . . ."
