| Ephesians 3:2 | if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit, | (if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you, | If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you, |
| Ephesians 3:3 | and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you. | that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly, | How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter, |
| Ephesians 3:4 | By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ | by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,) | By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ; |
| Ephesians 3:5 | which in earlier ages was not made known to the human race, as it has now been revealed to His holy Apostles and Prophets through the Spirit | which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit, | Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit; |
| Ephesians 3:6 | I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News, | that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings; | Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news, |
| Ephesians 3:7 | in which I have been appointed to serve, in virtue of the work which God, in the exercise of His power within me, has graciously entrusted to me. | of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power. | Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power. |
| Ephesians 3:8 | To me who am less than the least of all God's people has this work been graciously entrusted to proclaim to the Gentiles the Good News of the exhaustless wealth of Christ, | To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ, | To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ: |
| Ephesians 3:9 | and to show all men in a clear light what my stewardship is. It is the stewardship of the truth which from all the Ages lay concealed in the mind of God, the Creator of all things | and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things, | And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things; |

| Ephesians 3:12 | in whom we have this bold and confident access through our faith in Him. | in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him. | By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him. |
| Ephesians 3:13 | Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour. | Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory. | For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory. |
| Ephesians 3:14 | For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father, | For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], | For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father, |
| Ephesians 3:15 | from whom the whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name, | of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named, | From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, |
| Ephesians 3:16 | to grant you in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being. | in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man; | That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts; |
| Ephesians 3:17 | I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea, | that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love, | So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love, |
| Ephesians 3:18 | as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth | in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height; | May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is, |
| Ephesians 3:19 | yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness. | and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God. | And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete. |

So be it. |
