CHAP. III.
1 He declareth that therefore he suffered many thinges of the
Iewes, 3 because he preached the mysterie touching the
saluation of the Gentiles, 8 at Gods commandement. 13
After he desired the Ephesians not to faint for his afflictions:
14 And for this cause he prayeth vnto God, 18 that they
may vnderstand the great loue of Christ.
The Gentiles inheriters.
1 For note this cause, I Paul am the note prisoner of Iesus
Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the
grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde,
3 That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed
this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe
wordes,
4 Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe
mine vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ)
5 Which in note other ages was not opened vnto
the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reueiled vnto
his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit,
6 That the Gentiles should be inheriters also,
and of the same body, and partakers of his promise
in Christ by the Gospel,
7 Whereof I am made a minister by the gift
of the grace of God giuen vnto me through the
effectuall working of his power.
8 Euen vnto me the least of all Saints is this
grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles
the vnsearchable riches of Christ,
9 And to make cleare vnto all men what the
felowship of the mysterie is, which from the beginning
of the world hath bene hid in God, who
hath created all things by Iesus Christ,
10 noteTo the intent, that nowe vnto principalities
and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen
by the Church the note manifolde wisedome
of God,
11 According to the note eternall purpose, which
he wrought in Christ Iesus our Lord:
12 By whom we haue boldenes and entrance
with confidence, by faith in him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my
tribulations for your sakes, which is your glory.
14 noteFor this cause I bowe my knees vnto the
Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
15 (Of whom is named the whole note familie in
heauen and in earth)
16 That he might graunt you according to
the note riches of his glorie, that ye may be strengthened
by his Spirit in the note inner man,
17 That Christ may dwell in your heartes by
faith:
18 That ye, being rooted and grounded in
note loue, may be able to comprehend with al Saints,
note what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and
height:
19 And to knowe the note loue of Christ, which
note passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with
all note fulnesse of God.
20 noteVnto him therefore that is able to do exceeding
aboundantly aboue all that we aske or
thinke, according to the power þt; worketh in vs,
21 Be prayse in the Church by Christ Iesus,
throughout all generations for euer, Amen.
