以弗所书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
奉命传福音于外邦人
3 因此,我保罗——为你们外邦人做了基督耶稣被囚的,替你们祈祷[a]。 2 谅必你们曾听见神赐恩给我,将关切你们的职分托付我, 3 用启示使我知道福音的奥秘,正如我以前略略写过的。 4 你们念了,就能晓得我深知基督的奥秘。 5 这奥秘在以前的世代没有叫人知道,像如今借着圣灵启示他的圣使徒和先知一样。 6 这奥秘就是外邦人在基督耶稣里,借着福音,得以同为后嗣,同为一体,同蒙应许。 7 我做了这福音的执事,是照神的恩赐,这恩赐是照他运行的大能赐给我的。 8 我本来比众圣徒中最小的还小,然而他还赐我这恩典,叫我把基督那测不透的丰富传给外邦人, 9 又使众人都明白,这历代以来隐藏在创造万物之神里的奥秘是如何安排的, 10 为要借着教会,使天上执政的、掌权的现在得知神百般的智慧。 11 这是照神从万世以前在我们主基督耶稣里所定的旨意。 12 我们因信耶稣,就在他里面放胆无惧,笃信不疑地来到神面前。 13 所以,我求你们不要因我为你们所受的患难丧胆,这原是你们的荣耀。
基督有莫测之爱
14 因此,我在父面前屈膝—— 15 天上地上的各[b]家,都是从他得名—— 16 求他按着他丰盛的荣耀,借着他的灵,叫你们心里的力量刚强起来, 17 使基督因你们的信住在你们心里,叫你们的爱心有根有基, 18 能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱是何等长阔高深, 19 并知道这爱是过于人所能测度的,便叫神一切所充满的充满了你们。
20 神能照着运行在我们心里的大力,充充足足地成就一切,超过我们所求所想的。 21 但愿他在教会中,并在基督耶稣里得着荣耀,直到世世代代,永永远远!阿门。

外族人的福音使者
3 为此,我保罗为了把基督耶稣传给你们外族人而做了囚犯。 2 相信你们已经听说了,上帝委派我将祂的恩典传给你们。 3 祂借着启示让我明白福音的奥秘,正如我前面简要提过的。 4 你们读过之后,就能明白我对基督的奥秘有深刻的认识。 5 自古以来,上帝没有让人知道这奥秘,如今祂借着圣灵将这奥秘启示给祂的圣使徒和先知。 6 这奥秘就是外族人能够在基督耶稣里借着福音与以色列人同做后嗣,同为一体,同享应许。
7 上帝运用大能赐给我恩典,叫我成为这福音的使者。 8 我本来比最卑微的圣徒还卑微,却蒙上帝赐我这恩典,让我把基督那测不透的丰富传给外族人, 9 让全人类都明白世代隐藏在创造万物的上帝里面的奥秘, 10 目的是为了透过教会让天上的执政者和掌权者现在可以看出上帝丰富的智慧。 11 这是上帝万世以前在我们主基督耶稣里定好的计划。 12 我们靠着基督、借着信祂可以坦然无惧、毫无疑虑地来到上帝面前。 13 所以,我请求各位不要因我为你们受苦而沮丧,这其实是你们的荣耀。
基督的爱
14-15 为此,我跪在天地万物的本源——天父面前, 16 祈求祂按照自己丰富的荣耀,借着祂的灵,以大能使你们内在的生命刚强起来, 17 使基督借着你们的信心住在你们心里,使你们在爱中扎根、坚立, 18 以便能够与众圣徒一同领悟基督的爱是多么长阔高深, 19 并知道基督的爱是远超过人所能理解的爱,好叫上帝无限的丰富充满你们。
20 上帝的能力运行在我们里面,能够丰丰富富地成就一切,超过我们所求所想的。 21 愿祂在教会中,在基督耶稣里得到荣耀,直到世世代代,永永远远。阿们!
Ephesians 3
New International Version
God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles
3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me(B) for you, 3 that is, the mystery(C) made known to me by revelation,(D) as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight(E) into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.(F) 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs(G) together with Israel, members together of one body,(H) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.(I)
7 I became a servant of this gospel(J) by the gift of God’s grace given me(K) through the working of his power.(L) 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,(M) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles(N) the boundless riches of Christ,(O) 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery,(P) which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God(Q) should be made known(R) to the rulers and authorities(S) in the heavenly realms,(T) 11 according to his eternal purpose(U) that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God(V) with freedom and confidence.(W) 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
A Prayer for the Ephesians
14 For this reason I kneel(X) before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches(Y) he may strengthen you with power(Z) through his Spirit in your inner being,(AA) 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts(AB) through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted(AC) and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,(AD) to grasp how wide and long and high and deep(AE) is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge(AF)—that you may be filled(AG) to the measure of all the fullness of God.(AH)
20 Now to him who is able(AI) to do immeasurably more than all we ask(AJ) or imagine, according to his power(AK) that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.(AL)

Ephesians 3
King James Version
3 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 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;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 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.
8 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;
9 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:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 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,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
