OET EPH chapter 3

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 for_ This _reason _of, I Paulos, the prisoner of_ the _chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous for you _all the pagans, 2 if surely you _all _heard the management of _the grace of_ the _god, which having _been _given to _me for you _all, 3 by revelation the mystery was _made _known to _me, as I _previously _wrote in few messages, 4 to which you _all _are _being _able reading it to _understand the insight of _me in the mystery of _the chosen _one /messiah, 5 which in _other generations not was _made _known to _the sons of_ the _men, as now was _revealed to _the holy ambassadors of _him and prophets in the_spirit, 6 the pagans to _be fellow-heirs, and a_fellow-body _members, and fellow-partakers, of _the promise in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous, through the good _message, 7 of _which I _was _become a_servant according _to the gift of _the grace of_ the _god which having _been _given to _me, according _to the working of _the power of _him.
8 To _me, the very _least of _all the_holy ones, the this grace was _given, to _the pagans to _good _message _preach the untraceable riches of _the chosen _one /messiah, 9 and to _enlighten all, what is the management of _the mystery, which having _been _hidden _away from the ages in the god, the one having _created all the things, 10 in _order _that may _be _made _known now to _the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of_ the _god, 11 according _to the_purpose of _the ages, which he _established in the chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), the master of _us, 12 in whom we _are _having the boldness and access in confidence by the faith in _him.
13 Therefore I _am _requesting you _all not to _be _losing _heart at the tribulations of _me for you _all, which is the_glory of _you _all.

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.

3:4-6: Col 1:26-27.

14 for_ This _reason _of, I _am _bowing the knees of _me to the father, 15 of whom every family in the_heavens and on earth is _being _named, 16 in _order _that he _may _give to _you _all according _to the riches of _the glory of _him, with _power to _be _strengthened by the spirit of _him in the inside person, 17 to _dwell _in the chosen _one /messiah through the faith in the hearts of _you _all in love, having _been _rooted and having _been _established, 18 in _order _that you _all _may _have _strength to _grasp with all the holy ones, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth, 19 and to _know the love of _the chosen _one /messiah surpassing of_ the _knowledge, in _order _that you _all _may _be _filled to all the fullness of_ the _god.
20 And to _the one being _able above all things, to _do exceedingly that we _are _requesting or are _understanding, according _to the power which working in us, 21 to _him be the glory in the assembly and in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), to all the generations of _the age of _the ages.
Truly.
