World English Bible
1τουτου χαριν εγω παυλοσ ο δεσμιοσ του χριστου ιησου υπερ υμων των εθνων
1For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
2ειγε ηκουσατε την οικονομιαν τησ χαριτοσ του θεου τησ δοθεισησ μοι εισ υμασ
2if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
3οτι κατα αποκαλυψιν εγνωρισεν μοι το μυστηριον καθωσ προεγραψα εν ολιγω
3how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4προσ ο δυνασθε αναγινωσκοντεσ νοησαι την συνεσιν μου εν τω μυστηριω του χριστου
4by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in 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 in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
6ειναι τα εθνη συγκληρονομα και συσσωμα και συμμετοχα τησ επαγγελιασ αυτου εν τω χριστω δια του ευαγγελιου
6that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7ου εγενομην διακονοσ κατα την δωρεαν τησ χαριτοσ του θεου την δοθεισαν μοι κατα την ενεργειαν τησ δυναμεωσ αυτου
7of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8εμοι τω ελαχιστοτερω παντων αγιων εδοθη η χαρισ αυτη εν τοισ εθνεσιν ευαγγελισασθαι τον ανεξιχνιαστον πλουτον του χριστου
8To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, 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 make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
10ινα γνωρισθη νυν ταισ αρχαισ και ταισ εξουσιαισ εν τοισ επουρανιοισ δια τησ εκκλησιασ η πολυποικιλοσ σοφια του θεου
10to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
11κατα προθεσιν των αιωνων ην εποιησεν εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
11according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12εν ω εχομεν την παρρησιαν και την προσαγωγην εν πεποιθησει δια τησ πιστεωσ αυτου
12In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13διο αιτουμαι μη εκκακειν εν ταισ θλιψεσιν μου υπερ υμων ητισ εστιν δοξα υμων
13Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14τουτου χαριν καμπτω τα γονατα μου προσ τον πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
14For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15εξ ου πασα πατρια εν ουρανοισ και επι γησ ονομαζεται
15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16ινα δωη υμιν κατα τον πλουτον τησ δοξησ αυτου δυναμει κραταιωθηναι δια του πνευματοσ αυτου εισ τον εσω ανθρωπον
16that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
17κατοικησαι τον χριστον δια τησ πιστεωσ εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
17that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that 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
18may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
19γνωναι τε την υπερβαλλουσαν τησ γνωσεωσ αγαπην του χριστου ινα πληρωθητε εισ παν το πληρωμα του θεου
19and to know Christ’s love which 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 exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in 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 assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
