1Hujus rei gratia, ego Paulus vinctus Christi Jesu, pro vobis gentibus,
1For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
2si tamen audistis dispensationem gratiæ Dei, quæ data est mihi in vobis:
2if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
3quoniam secundum revelationem notum mihi factum est sacramentum, sicut supra scripsi in brevi,
3how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4prout potestis legentes intelligere prudentiam meam in mysterio Christi:
4by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
5quod aliis generationibus non est agnitum filiis hominum, sicuti nunc revelatum est sanctis apostolis ejus et prophetis in Spiritu,
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,
6gentes esse cohæredes, et concorporales, et comparticipes promissionis ejus in Christo Jesu per Evangelium:
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,
7cujus factus sum minister secundum donum gratiæ Dei, quæ data est mihi secundum operationem virtutis ejus.
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.
8Mihi omnium sanctorum minimo data est gratia hæc, in gentibus evangelizare investigabiles divitias Christi,
8To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9et illuminare omnes, quæ sit dispensatio sacramenti absconditi a sæculis in Deo, qui omnia creavit:
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,
10ut innotescat principatibus et potestatibus in cælestibus per Ecclesiam, multiformis sapientia Dei,
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,
11secundum præfinitionem sæculorum, quam fecit in Christo Jesu Domino nostro:
11according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12in quo habemus fiduciam, et accessum in confidentia per fidem ejus.
12In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13Propter quod peto ne deficiatis in tribulationibus meis pro vobis: quæ est gloria vestra.
13Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14Hujus rei gratia flecto genua mea ad Patrem Domini nostri Jesu Christi,
14For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15ex quo omnis paternitas in cælis et in terra nominatur,
15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16ut det vobis secundum divitias gloriæ suæ, virtute corroborari per Spiritum ejus in interiorem hominem,
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,
17Christum habitare per fidem in cordibus vestris: in caritate radicati, et fundati,
17that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18ut possitis comprehendere cum omnibus sanctis, quæ sit latitudo, et longitudo, et sublimitas, et profundum:
18may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
19scire etiam supereminentem scientiæ caritatem Christi, ut impleamini in omnem plenitudinem Dei.
19and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20Ei autem, qui potens est omnia facere superabundanter quam petimus aut intelligimus, secundum virtutem, quæ operatur in nobis:
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,
21ipsi gloria in Ecclesia, et in Christo Jesu, in omnes generationes sæculi sæculorum. Amen.
21to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
