       Paul’s Letter To The Ephesians

                  (paraphrased)

8 - To me, though I’m the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ! 9 And to enlighten all as to what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all. 10 So that through the church, the diverse wisdom of God might be clearly made known to the principalities [arché] and powers in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose which he brought about in Christ Jesus our Lord. {All in Christ.} 12 In whom we have boldness and access - with confidence - through our faith in him. 13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is for your glory. 14 And for this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family of heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory, he may grant you to be strengthened - with power through his Spirit in your inner being - 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have the strength to comprehend with all believers what is the breadth, length, height and depth of 19 the love {revealed} in Christ that surpasses all knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

      20 Now to he who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to his power at work in us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
