On account of this I, Paulos, am bound for Jeshu Meshiha for the sake of you Gentiles: if you have heard the dispensation of the grace of Aloha which was given me for you; that by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I have written to you in few (words); so that while you read you are able to understand my knowledge of the mystery of the Meshiha, which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to his holy apostles and to his prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be sons of his inheritance and partakers of his body, and in the promise which is given concerning him by the gospel, of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of Aloha, which he hath given me by the operation of his power. To me, who am the least of all the saints, is given this grace, that I should preach among the Gentiles the riches of the Meshiha, which are not searched; and to bring to light unto all men what is the dispensation of the mystery which was hidden from the ages in Aloha, who created all: that through the church might be made known the wisdom of Aloha, which is full of diversities, to the principalities and powers who are in heaven, that which he prepared from of old, and which he hath executed by Jeshu our Lord, by whom we have freedom and access with the confidence of the faith of him.
V. 3:13
WHEREFORE I pray that I may not weary in my affliction, which is on your account, for this is your glory; and I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, from whom is named the whole family 4 who are in heaven and in earth; that he would give to you, according to the riches of his glory, with power to be confirmed by his Spirit in your interior man; that the Meshiha may dwell by faith in your hearts in love; your root and your foundations being confirmed, that you may be able to follow out with all the saints, what the height, and depth, and the length, and breadth; and know the grandeur of the love of the Meshiha, and be filled with all the fulness of Aloha.
But to Him who is able with power beyond all to do for us above what we ask or conceive, according to his power which worketh in us, to Him be glory in his church, by Jeshu Meshiha, in all ages, for ever and ever. Amen.
4 Abohutho, paternity.
