Efesios 3
Reina Valera Actualizada
Ministerio de Pablo para los gentiles
3 Por esta razón yo, Pablo, prisionero de Cristo Jesús a favor de ustedes los gentiles...[a].
2 Sin duda han oído de la administración de la gracia de Dios que me ha sido conferida en el beneficio de ustedes. 3 Por revelación me fue dado a conocer este misterio, como antes lo he escrito brevemente. 4 Por tanto, leyéndolo, podrán entender cuál es mi comprensión en el misterio de Cristo. 5 En otras generaciones no se dio a conocer este misterio a los hijos de los hombres, como ha sido revelado ahora a sus santos apóstoles y profetas por el Espíritu, 6 a saber: que en Cristo Jesús los gentiles son coherederos, incorporados en el mismo cuerpo y copartícipes de la promesa por medio del evangelio. 7 De este llegué a ser ministro, conforme a la dádiva de la gracia de Dios que me ha sido conferida, según la acción de su poder. 8 A mí, que soy menos que el menor de todos los santos, me ha sido conferida esta gracia de anunciar entre los gentiles el evangelio de las inescrutables riquezas de Cristo 9 y para aclarar a todos[b] cuál es la administración del misterio que desde la eternidad había estado escondido en Dios, quien creó todas las cosas. 10 Todo esto es para que ahora sea dada a conocer, por medio de la iglesia, la multiforme sabiduría de Dios a los principados y las autoridades en los lugares celestiales 11 conforme al propósito eterno que realizó en Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor. 12 En él tenemos libertad y acceso a Dios con confianza por medio de la fe en él. 13 Por tanto, les pido que no se desanimen por mis tribulaciones a favor de ustedes, pues ellas son la gloria de ustedes.
Para conocer el amor de Cristo
14 Por esta razón doblo mis rodillas ante el Padre, 15 de quien toma nombre toda familia en los cielos y en la tierra, 16 a fin de que, conforme a las riquezas de su gloria, les conceda ser fortalecidos con poder por su Espíritu en el hombre interior 17 para que Cristo habite en sus corazones por medio de la fe de modo que, siendo arraigados y fundamentados en amor, 18 ustedes sean plenamente capaces de comprender, junto con todos los santos, cuál es la anchura, la longitud, la altura y la profundidad, 19 y de conocer el amor de Cristo que sobrepasa todo conocimiento para que así sean llenos de toda la plenitud de Dios.
20 Y a aquel que es poderoso para hacer todas las cosas mucho más abundantemente de lo que pedimos o pensamos, según el poder que actúa en nosotros, 21 a él sea la gloria en la iglesia y en Cristo Jesús, por todas las generaciones de todas las edades, para siempre. Amén.

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.

The Mystery Revealed
3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— 2 if indeed you have heard of the [a]dispensation of the grace of God (A)which was given to me for you, 3 (B)how that by revelation (C)He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 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: 6 that the Gentiles (D)should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, 7 (E)of which I became a minister (F)according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by (G)the effective working of His power.
Purpose of the Mystery
8 To me, (H)who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles (I)the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what is the [b]fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who (J)created all things [c]through Jesus Christ; 10 (K)to the intent that now (L)the [d]manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church (M)to the [e]principalities and powers in the heavenly places, 11 (N)according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access (O)with confidence through faith in Him. 13 (P)Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, (Q)which is your glory.
Appreciation of the Mystery
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the (R)Father [f]of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, (S)according to the riches of His glory, (T)to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in (U)the inner man, 17 (V)that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, (W)being rooted and grounded in love, 18 (X)may be able to comprehend with all the saints (Y)what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled (Z)with all the fullness of God.
20 Now (AA)to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly (AB)above all that we ask or think, (AC)according to the power that works in us, 21 (AD)to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Эф 3
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия с «Аллахом»
Паул избран возвещать Радостную Весть язычникам
3 Вот почему я, Паул, нахожусь в заключении за Ису Масиха, ради вас, язычников.
2 Вы, конечно же, слышали о том, что Аллах возложил на меня ответственность передать вам Его благодать. 3 Он открыл мне тайный план, о котором я вам уже вкратце писал. 4 Прочитав это, вы также сможете постичь то, что я знаю о тайне Масиха, 5 которая не была открыта прежним поколениям людей, но теперь Дух открыл её святым посланникам Аллаха[a] и пророкам. 6 Тайна эта заключается в том, что через Радостную Весть язычники вместе с иудеями становятся наследниками благословений Аллаха и членами единого тела. Им также принадлежит обещание, данное всем тем, кто присоединяется к Исе Масиху.
7 По благодати Аллаха, данной мне благодаря действию Его силы, я стал служителем этой Радостной Вести. 8 Я – самый незначительный из всего святого народа Аллаха, но мне была дана эта привилегия: возвещать язычникам Радостную Весть о неизмеримом богатстве Масиха. 9 Мне было доверено просветить всех относительно этого плана, который был от самого начала скрыт Аллахом, сотворившим всё. 10 Согласно ему, многообразная мудрость Аллаха должна теперь открыться начальствам и властям на небесах через вселенскую общину последователей Масиха. 11 Это Его вечный замысел, который Он осуществил в Исе Масихе, нашем Повелителе. 12 В единении с Масихом и по вере в Него мы можем свободно и уверенно приходить к Аллаху. 13 Поэтому я прошу вас не отчаиваться из-за моих страданий ради вас, потому что они служат к вашей славе.
Любовь Исы Масиха
14 Ради этого я и стою на коленях в молитве перед Небесным Отцом, 15 от Которого каждый род на небесах и на земле получил жизнь. 16 Я молюсь, чтобы по богатству Своей славы Он Духом Своим наделил вас внутренней силой 17 и чтобы через веру в ваши сердца вселился Масих; 18 молюсь, чтобы вы, укоренённые и утверждённые в любви, вместе со всем святым народом Аллаха могли понять ширину, длину, высоту и глубину любви Масиха 19 и могли познать эту любовь, которая превыше человеческого разумения; молюсь, чтобы ваша жизнь преисполнилась всей полнотой Аллаха. 20 А Тому, Чья сила действует в нас, и Кто может сделать гораздо больше того, о чём мы просим или даже о чём помышляем, 21 да будет слава из поколения в поколение, навеки, через Ису Масиха и через вселенскую общину Его последователей! Аминь.

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)
