The III. Chapter.
A For this cause I Paul am note a presoner
of Iesus Christ for you Heythen,
acordinge as ye haue herde of þe; office
of the grace of God which is geuen me
to you warde. For by note reuelacion was this
mystery shewed vnto me, as I wrote aboue
in fewe wordes: wherby whan ye rede it, ye
maye perceaue myne vnderstondynge in þe;
mystery of Christ, which (mystery) in tymes
past was not opened vnto the childr&ebar; of m&ebar;
as it is now declared to his holy Apostles
and prophetes by the sprete: namely, that
the Heythen shulde be inheritours also, and
of the same body, and partakers of his promes
in Christ by the Gospell, wherof I am
made a mynister acordynge to the gifte of
the grace of God, which is geu&ebar; me acordinge
to the workynge of his power.
B Vnto me note the leest of all sayntes is this
grace geuen, that I shulde preach amonge
the Heyth&ebar; þe; vnsearcheable riches of Christ,
and to make all men se, what is the fellishippe
of the note mystery, which fr&obar; the begynnynge
of the worlde hath bene hyd in God,
which made all th&ibar;ges thorow Iesus Christ:
to the intent that now vnto the rulers and
powers in heau&ebar; mighte be knowne by the
congregacion the manifolde wy&esset;dome off
God, acordinge to þe; eternall purpose, which
he hath shewed in Christ Iesu oure LORDE
by whom we haue boldnesse and intraunce
in all confid&ebar;ce thorow faith on him. Wherfore
I desyre that ye faynte not because of
my tribulacions, þt; I note suffre for you, which
is youre prayse.
C For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the
father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which
is the true father, ouer all that is called father
in heauen and in earth, that he graunte
you (acordinge to þe; riches of his glory) to
be strengthed with power by his sprete in þe;
inwarde m&abar;, that Christ maye dwell in youre
hertes by faith, that ye beynge roted and
grounded in loue, maye be able to c&obar;prehende
with all sayntes, what is the bredth, and
the length, and the deepth, and the heyth:
and to knowe the loue of Christ, which loue
yet passeth all knowlege: that ye maye be
fylled with all maner of fulnesse of God.
Vnto him that is able to do exceadinge
abundauntly, aboue all that we axe or vnderstonde
-- --
(acordinge to þe; power that worketh
in vs) be prayse in the congregacion,
which is in Christ Iesu, at all tymes for euer
and euer, Amen.
