| 1 | For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— |
|
ΤούτουχάρινεγὼΠαῦλοςοδέσμιοςτοῦΧριστοῦ[Ιησοῦ]υπὲρυμῶντῶνεθνῶν—
|
|
| 2 | if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, |
|
είγεηκούσατετὴνοικονομίαντῆςχάριτοςτοῦθεοῦτῆςδοθείσηςμοιειςυμᾶς,
|
|
| 3 | how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, |
|
[ότι]κατὰαποκάλυψινεγνωρίσθημοιτὸμυστήριον,καθὼςπροέγραψαενολίγω,
|
|
| 4 | by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), |
|
πρὸςὸδύνασθεαναγινώσκοντεςνοῆσαιτὴνσύνεσίνμουεντῶμυστηρίωτοῦΧριστοῦ,
|
|
| 5 | 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: |
|
ὸετέραιςγενεαῖςουκεγνωρίσθητοῖςυιοῖςτῶνανθρώπωνωςνῦναπεκαλύφθητοῖςαγίοιςαποστόλοιςαυτοῦκαὶπροφήταιςενπνεύματι,
|
|
| 6 | that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, |
|
εῖναιτὰέθνησυγκληρονόμακαὶσύσσωμακαὶσυμμέτοχατῆςεπαγγελίαςενΧριστῶΙησοῦδιὰτοῦευαγγελίου,
|
|
| 7 | of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. |
|
οῦεγενήθηνδιάκονοςκατὰτὴνδωρεὰντῆςχάριτοςτοῦθεοῦτῆςδοθείσηςμοικατὰτὴνενέργειαντῆςδυνάμεωςαυτοῦ.
|
|
| 8 | 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, |
|
εμοὶτῶελαχιστοτέρωπάντωναγίωνεδόθηηχάριςαύτη,τοῖςέθνεσινευαγγελίσασθαιτὸανεξιχνίαστονπλοῦτοςτοῦΧριστοῦ,
|
|
| 9 | and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; |
|
καὶφωτίσαι[πάντας]τίςηοικονομίατοῦμυστηρίουτοῦαποκεκρυμμένουαπὸτῶναιώνωνεντῶθεῶτῶτὰπάντακτίσαντι,
|
|
| 10 | to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, |
|
ίναγνωρισθῆνῦνταῖςαρχαῖςκαὶταῖςεξουσίαιςεντοῖςεπουρανίοιςδιὰτῆςεκκλησίαςηπολυποίκιλοςσοφίατοῦθεοῦ,
|
|
| 11 | according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, |
|
κατὰπρόθεσιντῶναιώνωνὴνεποίησενεντῶΧριστῶΙησοῦτῶκυρίωημῶν,
|
|
| 12 | in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. |
|
ενῶέχομεντὴνπαρρησίανκαὶπροσαγωγὴνενπεποιθήσειδιὰτῆςπίστεωςαυτοῦ.
|
|
| 13 | Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. |
|
διὸαιτοῦμαιμὴεγκακεῖνενταῖςθλίψεσίνμουυπὲρυμῶν,ήτιςεστὶνδόξαυμῶν.
|
|
| 14 | For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
|
Τούτουχάρινκάμπτωτὰγόνατάμουπρὸςτὸνπατέρα,
|
|
| 15 | from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, |
|
εξοῦπᾶσαπατριὰενουρανοῖςκαὶεπὶγῆςονομάζεται,
|
|
| 16 | that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, |
|
ίναδῶυμῖνκατὰτὸπλοῦτοςτῆςδόξηςαυτοῦδυνάμεικραταιωθῆναιδιὰτοῦπνεύματοςαυτοῦειςτὸνέσωάνθρωπον,
|
|
| 17 | that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, |
|
κατοικῆσαιτὸνΧριστὸνδιὰτῆςπίστεωςενταῖςκαρδίαιςυμῶν,εναγάπηερριζωμένοικαὶτεθεμελιωμένοι,
|
|
| 18 | may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— |
|
ίναεξισχύσητεκαταλαβέσθαισὺνπᾶσιντοῖςαγίοιςτίτὸπλάτοςκαὶμῆκοςκαὶύψοςκαὶβάθος,
|
|
| 19 | to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. |
|
γνῶναίτετὴνυπερβάλλουσαντῆςγνώσεωςαγάπηντοῦΧριστοῦ,ίναπληρωθῆτεειςπᾶντὸπλήρωματοῦθεοῦ.
|
|
| 20 | 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, |
|
Τῶδὲδυναμένωυπὲρπάνταποιῆσαιυπερεκπερισσοῦῶναιτούμεθαὴνοοῦμενκατὰτὴνδύναμιντὴνενεργουμένηνενημῖν,
|
|
| 21 | to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. |
|
αυτῶηδόξαεντῆεκκλησίακαὶενΧριστῶΙησοῦειςπάσαςτὰςγενεὰςτοῦαιῶνοςτῶναιώνων·αμήν.
