以弗所书 3

Chinese New Version (Simplified)

保罗把福音传给外族人

3 因此，我这为你们外族人的缘故，作了为基督耶稣被囚禁的保罗，为你们祈求─ ²想必你们听过　神恩惠的计划，他为你们的缘故赐恩给我， ³借着启示使我可以知道这奥秘，就像我以前在信中略略提过的。 ⁴你们读了，就可以知道我深深地明白基督的奥秘。 ⁵这奥秘在以前的世代并没有让世人知道，不像现在借着圣灵启示了圣使徒和先知那样。 ⁶这奥秘就是外族人在基督耶稣里，借着福音可以同作后嗣，同为一体，同蒙应许。 ⁷我作了福音的仆役，是照着　神的恩赐（“恩赐”或译：“恩赏”）；这恩赐是按着他大能的作为赐给我的。 ⁸我本来比圣徒中最小的还小，　神还是赐给我这恩典，要我把基督那测不透的丰富传给外族人， ⁹并且使众人明白那奥秘的救世计划是甚么（这奥秘是历代以来隐藏在创造万有的　神里面的）， ¹⁰为了要使天上执政的和掌权的，现在借着教会都可以知道　神各样的智慧。 ¹¹这都是照着　神在我们主基督耶稣里所成就的永恒的旨意。 ¹²我们因信基督，就在他里面坦然无惧，满有把握地进到　神面前。 ¹³因此，我恳求你们，不要因着我为你们所受的苦难而沮丧，这原是你们的光荣。

基督的爱多么长阔高深

¹⁴因此，我在父面前屈膝， ¹⁵（天上地上所有的家族都是由他命名的，） ¹⁶求他按着他荣耀的丰盛，借着他的灵，用大能使你们内在的人刚强起来， ¹⁷使基督借着你们的信，住在你们心里，使你们既然在爱中扎根建基， ¹⁸就能和众圣徒一同领悟基督的爱是多么的长阔高深， ¹⁹并且知道他的爱是超过人所能理解的，使你们被充满，得着　神的一切丰盛。

²⁰愿荣耀归给　神，就是归给那能照着运行在我们里面的大能，充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。 ²¹愿荣耀在教会中和基督耶稣里归给他，直到万代，永世无穷。阿们。

Ephesians 3

English Standard Version

The Mystery of the Gospel Revealed

3 For this reason I, Paul, ^(A)a prisoner of Christ Jesus ^(B)on behalf of you Gentiles— ²assuming that you have heard of ^(C)the stewardship of ^(D)God's grace that was given to me for you, ³^(E)how the mystery was made known to me ^(F)by revelation, ^(G)as I have written briefly. ⁴^(H)When you read this, you can perceive my insight into ^(I)the mystery of Christ, ⁵which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. ⁶This mystery is^[a] that the Gentiles are ^(J)fellow heirs, ^(K)members of the same body, and ^(L)partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

⁷^(M)Of this gospel I was made ^(N)a minister according to the gift of ^(O)God's grace, which was given me ^(P)by the working of his power. ⁸To me, ^(Q)though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, ^(R)to preach to the Gentiles the ^(S)unsearchable ^(T)riches of Christ, ⁹and ^(U)to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery ^(V)hidden for ages in^[b] God, ^(W)who created all things, ¹⁰so that through the church the manifold ^(X)wisdom of God ^(Y)might now be made known to ^(Z)the rulers and authorities ^(AA)in the heavenly places. ¹¹This was ^(AB)according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, ¹²in whom we have ^(AC)boldness and ^(AD)access with ^(AE)confidence through our ^(AF)faith in him. ¹³So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering ^(AG)for you, ^(AH)which is your glory.

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

¹⁴For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, ¹⁵from whom ^(AI)every family^[c] in heaven and on earth is named, ¹⁶that according to ^(AJ)the riches of his glory ^(AK)he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit ^(AL)in your inner being, ¹⁷^(AM)so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ^(AN)rooted and ^(AO)grounded in love, ¹⁸may have strength to ^(AP)comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and ^(AQ)height and depth, ¹⁹and to know the love of Christ ^(AR)that surpasses knowledge, that ^(AS)you may be filled with all ^(AT)the fullness of God.

²⁰^(AU)Now to ^(AV)him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, ^(AW)according to the power at work within us, ²¹^(AX)to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
