| 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: |
| 3:9 | 又使眾人都明白、這歷代以來隱藏在創造萬物之 神裡的奧秘、是如何安排的． |
| 3:9 | 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。 |
| col:1:16 | For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: |
| rev:4:11 | Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. |
| 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: |
| col:1:26 | Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: |
| COBL | |
| 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, |
| 3:11 | 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. |
