以弗所书 3
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
对外邦人的服事
3 因此,我保罗为你们外邦人做了基督耶稣的囚犯。 2 你们一定听说过,为了你们的缘故,神那恩典的任务已经赐给我了; 3 也就是说,藉着启示,那奥秘已经显明给我,就像我先前简略写过的那样。 4 你们读了,就能明白我在基督奥秘上的悟性。 5 这奥秘在别的各世代并不显明给人类[a],不像如今藉着圣灵启示给了他的圣使徒和先知们。 6 这奥秘就是:外邦人在基督耶稣[b]里,藉着福音,成为共同的继承人,同属一体、同蒙应许。 7 我成了这福音的仆人[c],是照着神恩典的赏赐;这赏赐是照着他大能的作为赐给我的。
8 我在所有圣徒中,比最小的还小,但被赐予了这恩典,是为了把基督那无法测度的丰盛传给外邦人; 9 并且使所有的人都明白这奥秘的计划[d]到底是什么,这奥秘自古以来被隐藏在[e]创造万有的神里面, 10 为要使天上的统治者和掌权者,如今藉着教会能明白神各种各样的智慧。 11 这都是照着他在我们主基督耶稣里所成就的永恒心意。 12 在基督里,藉着信基督,我们能坦然无惧、确信无疑地来到神面前[f]。 13 所以,我请求你们[g],不要因我为你们所受的患难而丧胆[h];这患难是你们的荣耀。
祈求属灵的能力
14 因此,我屈膝在[i]父面前—— 15 天上地上的万族都是从他得名的, 16 愿他按照他那荣耀的丰盛,藉着他的灵,以大能使你们内在的人刚强起来; 17 使基督藉着你们的信仰,住在你们心里;使你们在爱中扎根,根基稳固, 18 好让你们有能力与所有圣徒一起了解基督的爱[j]是多么长、阔、高、深—— 19 明白那超越了人所能[k]理解的基督之爱,好让你们得以满足,达到神一切的丰盛完美。
20 神能照着在我们里面做工的大能,成就那远超过我们所求所想的一切事—— 21 愿荣耀在教会里、在基督耶稣里归于神,直到世世代代,永永远远!阿们。

Paul’s Ministry to the Gentiles
3 For this reason, I, Paul, the prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— 2 you have heard, haven’t you, about the administration of God’s grace that He gave to me for you? 3 The mystery was made known to me by revelation,(B) as I have briefly written above. 4 By reading this you are able to understand my insight about the mystery of the Messiah.(C) 5 This was not made known to people[a] in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets(D) by the Spirit: 6 The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners of the promise(E) in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of His power.(F)
8 This grace was given to me—the least of all the saints—to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches(G) of the Messiah, 9 and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created(H) all things. 10 This is so God’s multi-faceted wisdom(I) may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.(J) 11 This is according to His eternal purpose(K) accomplished in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord. 12 In Him we have boldness and confident access(L) through faith in Him.[b] 13 So then I ask you not to be discouraged(M) over my afflictions on your behalf, for they are your glory.(N)
Prayer for Spiritual Power
14 For this reason I kneel(O) before the Father[c] 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. 16 I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches(P) of His glory,(Q) to be strengthened with power(R) in the inner man(S) through His Spirit, 17 and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love,(T) 19 and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able(U) to do above and beyond all that we ask or think(V) according to the power(W) that works in us— 21 to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.(X)

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)

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
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.
