Ephesians 3:8-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ,

⁹ And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things:

¹⁰ That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,

¹¹ According to the eternal purpose, which he made, in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹² In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

¹³ Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

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

¹⁵ Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named,

¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man,

¹⁷ That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity,

¹⁸ You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth:

¹⁹ To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.
