Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles;
1因此，我— 保罗 为你们外邦人作了基督耶稣被囚的， 替你们祈祷 。
2If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you:
2谅必你们曾听见 神赐恩给我，将关切你们的职分托付我，
3How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words;
3用启示使我知道 福音的 奥秘，正如我以前略略写过的。
4As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,
4你们念了，就能晓得我深知基督的奥秘。
5Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit:
5这奥秘在以前的世代没有叫人知道，像如今借着圣灵启示他的圣使徒和先知一样。
6That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and co-partners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel:
6这奥秘 就是外邦人在基督耶稣里，借着福音，得以同为后嗣，同为一体，同蒙应许。
7Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power:
7我作了这福音的执事，是照 神的恩赐，这恩赐是照他运行的大能赐给我的。
8To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ,
8我本来比众圣徒中最小的还小，然而他还赐我这恩典，叫我把基督那测不透的丰富传给外邦人，
9And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things:
9又使众人都明白，这历代以来隐藏在创造万物之 神里的奥秘是如何安排的，
10That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,
10为要借着教会使天上执政的、掌权的，现在得知 神百般的智慧。
11According to the eternal purpose, which he made, in Christ Jesus our Lord:
11这是照 神从万世以前，在我们主基督耶稣里所定的旨意。
12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
12我们因信耶稣，就在他里面放胆无惧，笃信不疑地来到 神面前。
13Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
13所以，我求你们不要因我为你们所受的患难丧胆，这原是你们的荣耀。
14For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14因此，我在父面前屈膝，（
15Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named,
15天上地上的各家，都是从他得名。）
16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man,
16求他按着他丰盛的荣耀，借着他的灵，叫你们心里的力量刚强起来，
17That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity,
17使基督因你们的信，住在你们心里，叫你们的爱心有根有基，
18You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth:
18能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱是何等长阔高深，
19To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.
19并知道这爱是过于人所能测度的，便叫 神一切所充满的，充满了你们。
20Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us;
20神能照着运行在我们心里的大力充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。
21To him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus unto all generations, world without end. Amen.
21但愿他在教会中，并在基督耶稣里，得着荣耀，直到世世代代，永永远远。阿们！
