[1]On account of this I, Paulos, am bound for Jeshu Meshiha for the sake of you Gentiles:
[2]If you have heard the dispensation of the grace of Aloha which was given me for you;
[3]That by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I have written to you in few [words];
[4]So that while you read you are able to understand my knowledge of the mystery of the Meshiha,
[5]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;
[6]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,
[7]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.
[8]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;
[9]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:
[10]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,
[11]That which he prepared from of old, and which he hath executed by Jeshu our Lord,
[12]By whom we have freedom and access with the confidence of the faith of him.
[13]WHEREFORE I pray that I may not weary in my affliction, which is on your account, for this is your glory;
[14]And I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,
[15]From whom is named the whole familyⓘ who are in heaven and in earth;
[16]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;
[17]That the Meshiha may dwell by faith in your hearts in love; your root and your foundations being confirmed,
[18]That you may be able to follow out with all the saints, what the height, and depth, and the length, and breadth;
[19]And know the grandeur of the love of the Meshiha, and be filled with all the fulness of Aloha.
[20]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,
[21]To Him be glory in his church, by Jeshu Meshiha, in all ages, for ever and ever. Amen.
