The Mystery of the Church
1 For this cause I Sha’ul [desired], the prisoner of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] for you Goyim [Gentiles],
2 If you2f have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God-The Father which is given me to you-ward (in custody, with a guard; prison):
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when you2f read, you2f may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Moshiach [Messiah])
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit [Ruach];
6 That the Goyim [Gentiles] should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Moshiach [Messiah] by the Gospel (joyful message):
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God-The Father given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Goyim [Gentiles] the unsearchable riches of Moshiach [Messiah];
9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God-The Father, who created all things by Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:
10 To the intent that now unto the Principalities (rulers or their territory) and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God-The Father,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] our Lord - Kurios:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 For what reason I desire that you2f give up not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah],
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit [Ruach] in the inner man;
17 That Moshiach [Messiah] may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you2f, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Moshiach [Messiah], which passes knowledge, that you2f might be filled with all the fullness of God-The Father.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21 Unto him [be] glory in the church by Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
