3:1 Paul’s assignment to non-Jews
3 That’s the reason that I, Paul, am a prisoner due to my serving Yeshua the messiah for you non-Jews. 2 Certainly you have heard that God assigned me the task of passing on God’s grace to you. 3 He revealed his incredible plan as I wrote briefly previously 4 [ref]and which you are all able to read to understand my insight into the incredible plan about the messiah. 5 This plan wasn’t explained to humans in previous generations but has now God’s spirit has revealed it to his worthy missionaries and prophets. 6 Now non-Jews can have the same inheritance and become members of the same body and can share in the same promise that was the positive message of Yeshua the messiah.
7 I have become a servant of that message as a result of the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by means of the working of his power. 8 Although I was the least of the ones dedicated to this message, I was given the grace to preach this positive message to the non-Jews, to tell them about the endless riches of the messiah 9 and to enlighten everyone about the assignment of God’s incredible plan. God, the one who created everything, hid this plan away over the ages 10 so that the wide-ranging wisdom of God could be revealed now through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. 11 God did this according to his plan for the ages which he established in our master, Yeshua the messiah. 12 It’s through our faith in Yeshua that we can have boldness and confident access to God. 13 Because of that, I’m asking you not to become discouraged over my current difficulties as I serve you all, in fact you are honoured by them.
3:14 Paul prays for those in Ephesus
14 That’s why I’m kneeling to ask the father 15 (the one that every father in the heavens and on earth is named after) 16 that he would cause you to be strengthened inside your minds by the power of his spirit and from the riches of his greatness. 17 Through your faith, the messiah can live in your hearts so that love will become your root and foundation 18 so that just like the dedicated ones, you all will also be strong enough to understand the width and length and height and depth of 19 the messiah’s love, and to know that having this love exceeds having knowledge so that you all can be filled with God’s completeness.
20-21 20-21Now we offer praise to God in the church and for all the generations to come and to Yeshua the messiah—God who, through the power that works in us, is able to do far more than we can ask for or even understand. May it be so.
