Berean Standard Bible
1τουτου χαριν εγω παυλοσ ο δεσμιοσ του χριστου ιησου υπερ υμων των εθνων
1For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
2ειγε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν τησ χαριτοσ του θεου τησ δοθεισησ μοι εισ υμασ
2Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3οτι κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισεν μοι το μυστηριον καθωσ προεγραψα εν ολιγω
3that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4προσ ο δυνασθε αναγινωσκοντεσ νοησαι την συνεσιν μου εν τω μυστηριω του χριστου
4In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5ο ετεραισ γενεαισ ουκ εγνωρισθη τοισ υιοισ των ανθρωπων ωσ νυν απεκαλυφθη τοισ αγιοισ αποστολοισ αυτου και προφηταισ εν πνευματι
5which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
6ειναι τα εθνη συγκληρονομα και συσσωμα και συμμετοχα τησ επαγγελιασ αυτου εν τω χριστω δια του ευαγγελιου
6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
7ου εγενομην διακονοσ κατα την δωρεαν τησ χαριτοσ του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι κατα την ενεργειαν τησ δυναμεωσ αυτου
7I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
8εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων αγιων εδοθη η χαρισ αυτη εν τοισ εθνεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι τον ανεξιχνιαστον πλουτον του χριστου
8Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9και φωτισαι παντασ τισ η οικονομια του μυστηριου του αποκεκρυμμενου απο των αιωνων εν τω θεω τω τα παντα κτισαντι δια ιησου χριστου
9and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
10ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταισ αρχαισ και ταισ εξουσιαισ εν τοισ επουρανιοισ δια τησ εκκλησιασ η πολυποικιλοσ σοφια του θεου
10His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
11κατα προθεσιν των αιωνων ην εποιησεν εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
11according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και την προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια τησ πιστεωσ αυτου
12In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
13διο αιτουμαι μη εκκακειν εν ταισ θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων ητισ εστιν δοξα υμων
13So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
14τουτου χαριν καμπτω τα γονατα μου προσ τον πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
14... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
15εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοισ και επι γησ ονομαζεται
15from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16ινα δωη υμιν κατα τον πλουτον τησ δοξησ αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματοσ αυτου εισ τον εσω ανθρωπον
16I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
17κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια τησ πιστεωσ εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18εν αγαπη ερριζωμενοι και τεθεμελιωμενοι ινα εξισχυσητε καταλαβεσθαι συν πασιν τοισ αγιοισ τι το πλατοσ και μηκοσ και βαθοσ και υψοσ
18will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
19γνωναι τε την υπερβαλλουσαν τησ γνωσεωσ αγαπην του χριστου ινα πληρωθητε εισ παν το πληρωμα του θεου
19of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20τω δε δυναμενω υπερ παντα ποιησαι υπερ εκπερισσου ων αιτουμεθα η νοουμεν κατα την δυναμιν την ενεργουμενην εν ημιν
20Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,
21αυτω η δοξα εν τη εκκλησια εν χριστω ιησου εισ πασασ τασ γενεασ του αιωνοσ των αιωνων αμην
21to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
