1For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Messiah(Christ) Yeshua(Jesus) for the sake of you nations —
2if indeed you have heard of the oikonomia(stewardship) of the charis(grace) of God which was given to me for you;
3that by apokalypsis(revelation) there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.
4By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Messiah(Christ),
5which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His hagio(holy) apostles and prophets in the pneuma(spirit);
6to be specific, that the nations are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow metochoi(fellow-participants) of the promise in Messiah(Christ) Yeshua(Jesus) through the good news,
7of which I was made a diakonos(minister, servant), according to the dorea(free-gift) of the charis(grace) of God given to me according to the working of His dynamis(power).
8To me, the very least of all hagioi(holy ones), this charis(grace) was given, to proclaim to the nations the unfathomable riches of Messiah(Christ),
9and to bring to light what is the oikonomia(administration, stewardship) of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Yeshua(Jesus) Messiah(Christ);
10so that the manifold sophia(wisdom) of God might now be made known through the ekklesia(called-out community) to the rulers and the exousia(authorities, authority) in the heavenly places.
11This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Messiah(Christ) Yeshua(Jesus) our Lord,
12in whom we have parresia(boldness) and confident access through faith in Him.
13Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory.
14For this reason I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Yeshua(Jesus) Messiah(Christ),
15from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,
16that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with dynamis(power) through His pneuma(spirit) in the inner man,
17so that Messiah(Christ) may dwell through faith in your kardiai(hearts, soul-domains); and that you, being rooted and grounded in agape(love),
18may be able to comprehend with all the hagioi(holy ones) what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19and to know the agape(love) of Messiah(Christ) which surpasses gnosis(knowledge), that you may be filled up to all the pleroma(fullness) of God.
20Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the dynamis(power) that works within us,
21to Him be the glory in the ekklesia(called-out community) and in Messiah(Christ) Yeshua(Jesus) to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
