| 3:1 | For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, |
| 3:2 | If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: |
| 3:3 | How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, |
| 3:4 | Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) |
| 3:5 | Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; |
| 3:6 | That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: |
| 3:7 | Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. |
| 3:8 | Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; |
| 3:9 | And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: |
| 3:10 | To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, |
| 3:10 | 為要藉著教會、使天上執政的、掌權的、現在得知 神百般的智慧． |
| 3:10 | 为要藉着教会使天上执政的，掌权的，现在得知神百般的智慧。 |
| eph:1:3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: |
| eph:1:21 | Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: |
| eph:6:12 | For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. |
| col:2:10 | And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: |
| col:2:15 | And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. |
| rom:11:33 | O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! |
| 1co:2:7 | But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: |
| COBL | |
| 3:11 | According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: |
| 3:12 | In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. |
| 3:13 | Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. |
| 3:14 | For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 3:15 | Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, |
| 3:16 | That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; |
| 3:17 | That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, |
| 3:18 | May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; |
| 3:19 | And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. |
| 3:20 | Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, |
| 3:21 | Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. |
