1 Derhalben5127 ich1473, Paulus3972, der Gefangene1198 Christi5547 JEsu2424 für5228 euch5216 Heiden1484,

2 nachdem ihr gehöret habt191 von dem3588 Amt3622 der Gnade5485 Gottes2316, die mir3427 an1519 euch5209 gegeben1325 ist,

3 daß3754 mir3427 ist4270 kund worden dieses Geheimnis3466 durch1722 Offenbarung602, wie2596 ich droben aufs kürzeste3641 geschrieben habe1107,

4 daran ihr1410, so ihr‘s3539 leset, merken könnet meinen3450 Verstand4907 an1722 dem3739 Geheimnis3466 Christi5547,

5 welches nicht3756 kundgetan1107 ist601 in1722 den3739 vorigen2087 Zeiten1074 den444 Menschenkindern, als5613 es nun3568 offenbart601 ist seinen846 heiligen40 Aposteln652 und2532 Propheten4396 durch1722 den Geist4151,

6 nämlich daß die Heiden1484 Miterben4789 seien1511 und2532 mit eingeleibet und2532 Mitgenossen4830 seiner846 Verheißung1860 in1722 Christo5547 durch1223 das Evangelium2098,

7 des846 ich ein Diener1249 worden bin nach2596 der Gabe1431 aus der Gnade5485 Gottes2316, die3739 mir3427 nach2596 seiner mächtigen1753 Kraft1411 gegeben1325 ist1096:

8 mir1698, dem allergeringsten1647 unter allen3956 Heiligen40, ist gegeben1325 diese3778 Gnade5485, unter den Heiden1484 zu1722 verkündigen2097 den unausforschlichen421 Reichtum4149 Christi5547

9 und2532 zu5101 erleuchten5461 jedermann3956, welche da sei die3588 Gemeinschaft2842 des Geheimnisses3466, das3588 von575 der Welt165 her in1722 GOtt2316 verborgen gewesen ist613, der alle3956 Dinge geschaffen hat2936 durch1223 JEsum2424 Christum5547,

10 auf daß2443 jetzt3568 kund1107 würde den Fürstentümern746 und2532 Herrschaften in1722 dem Himmel2032 an1223 der1849 Gemeinde1577 die mannigfaltige4182 Weisheit4678 Gottes2316

11 nach2596 dem3739 Vorsatz4286 von der Welt165 her, welche er beweiset hat4160 in1722 Christo5547 JEsu2424, unserm2257 HErrn2962,

12 durch1223 welchen wir haben2192 Freudigkeit3954 und2532 Zugang4318 in1722 aller Zuversicht4006 durch den3739 Glauben4102 an1722 ihn846.

13 Darum1352 bitte154 ich, daß ihr nicht3361 müde1573 werdet um1722 meiner3450 Trübsal2347 willen, die3748 ich für5228 euch5216 leide, welche euch5216 eine Ehre1391 sind2076.

14 Derhalben5127 beuge ich2578 meine3450 Kniee1119 gegen4314 den Vater3962 unsers2257 HErrn2962 JEsu2424 Christi5547,

15 der der rechte Vater ist über3965 alles3956, was3739 da Kinder heißt3687 im1722 Himmel3772 und2532 auf1537 Erden1093,

16 daß2443 er euch5213 Kraft1411 gebe1325 nach2596 dem Reichtum4149 seiner Herrlichkeit1391, stark zu1519 werden2901 durch1223 seinen Geist4151 an dem inwendigen2080 Menschen444,

17 und2532 Christum5547 zu2443 wohnen2730 durch1223 den Glauben4102 in1722 euren5216 Herzen2588, und durch die Liebe26 eingewurzelt4492 und gegründet2311 zu1722 werden,

18 auf daß ihr begreifen2638 möget1840 mit4862 allen3956 Heiligen40, welches5101 da sei die Breite4114 und2532 die Länge3372 und2532 die Tiefe899 und2532 die Höhe5311,

19 auch5037 erkennen, daß2443 Christum5547 liebhaben viel besser ist4137 denn alles Wissen1097, auf1519 daß ihr erfüllet4138 werdet mit allerlei3956 Gottesfülle.

20 Dem aber1161, der überschwenglich tun4160 kann1410 über5228 alles3956, was wir2254 bitten154 oder2228 verstehen3539, nach2596 der Kraft1411, die3739 da in1722 uns5228 wirket1754,

21 dem846 sei Ehre1391 in1722 der Gemeinde1577, die in Christo5547 JEsu2424 ist, zu aller3956 Zeit1074, von Ewigkeit165 zu Ewigkeit165! Amen281.

Ephesians

Chapter 3

1 FOR this cause I, Paul, am a prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you Gentiles.

2 Have you ever heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you?

3 For the mystery was made known to me by a revelation; as I have briefly written you before,

4 So that when you read it you can understand my knowledge of the mystery of Christ,

5 Which in ages past was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and partakers of his body and of the promise which is given through him by the gospel,

7 Of that very gospel, I have been a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.

8 Even 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:

9 And that I may enlighten all men that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which for ages had been hidden from the world by God who created all things:

10 To the intent that through the church the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the angels and powers which are in heaven,

11 Which is the wisdom he prepared in ages past, and has carried out in Jesus Christ our LORD:

12 In whom we have freedom of access with confidence in his faith.

13 Therefore I ask that I may not grow weary in my afflictions for your sakes, which is for your happiness.

14 For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ,

15 For whom all fatherhood in heaven and in earth is named,

16 To grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit;

17 That Christ may dwell in you by faith, and in your hearts by love, strengthening your understanding and your foundation;

18 So that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the height and depth and length and breadth;

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

20 Now to him who is able by power to do for us more than anyone else, and to do for us more than we ask or think, according to his mighty power that works in us,

21 Unto him be glory in his church by Jesus Christ throughout all ages, world without end: Amen.
