¹Seetõttu mina, Paulus, olen Kristuse Jeesuse vang teie, paganate heaks.

¹For this reason *I* Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,

²Jah, küllap te olete kuulnud Jumala armu majapidamisest, mis minu kätte on antud teie heaks!

²(if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,

³Jumal on mulle ilmutuse kaudu teatanud saladuse, nagu ma eespool lühidalt kirjutasin.

³that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,

⁴Seda lugedes te võite mõista minu arusaamist Kristuse saladustest,

⁴by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,)

⁵mida muistsete põlvede aegu ei antud teada inimlastele nii, nagu see nüüd on ilmutatud tema pühadele apostlitele ja prohvetitele Vaimus:

⁵which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,

⁶et paganadki on tõotuse kaaspärijad ja sama ihu liikmed ja kaasosalised Kristuses Jeesuses evangeeliumi kaudu.

⁶that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;

⁷Selle evangeeliumi teenriks olen ma saanud Jumala armu kingituse kohaselt, mis mulle on antud tema väe toimel.

⁷of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.

⁸Minule, kõige vähemale kõigi pühade seast, on antud see arm: kuulutada paganate seas evangeeliumi Kristuse äraarvamatust rikkusest

⁸To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

⁹ja valge ette tuua kõigile, mis on selle saladuse korraldus, mis on kätketud aegade algusest peale Jumalas, kes kõik on loonud.

⁹and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things,

¹⁰Nii saab nüüd Jumala mitmekülgne tarkus teatavaks koguduse kaudu taevastele valitsustele ja meelevaldadele

¹⁰in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

¹¹ajastute ettemääramise järgi, mille ta on teinud teoks meie Issandas Kristuses Jeesuses,

¹¹according to [the] purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹²kelle sees usu läbi temasse on meil julgus ja usaldav ligipääs Jumalale.

¹²in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.

¹³Seetõttu ma kutsun teid üles mitte loobuma, kui mind ahistatakse teie pärast - see on teie kirkus.

¹³Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹⁴Sellepärast ma põlvitan Isa ees,

¹⁴For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],

¹⁵kelle käest iga suguvõsa taevas ja maa peal saab nime,

¹⁵of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,

¹⁶et ta teile oma kirkuse rikkust mööda annaks väge saada tema Vaimu läbi tugevaks seesmise inimese poolest,

¹⁶in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁷et Kristus usu kaudu elaks teie südameis ning te oleksite juurdunud ja kinnitatud armastuses,

¹⁷that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,

¹⁸et te suudaksite koos kõigi pühadega tunnetada, milline on armastuse laius ja pikkus ja sügavus ja kõrgus,

¹⁸in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;

¹⁹ning ära tunda Kristuse armastust, mis ületab iga tunnetuse, et te oleksite täidetud Jumala kogu täiusega.

¹⁹and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.

²⁰Aga Jumalale, kes meis tegutseva väega võib korda saata palju rohkem, kui oskame paluda või isegi mõelda,

²⁰But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,

²¹temale olgu kirkus koguduses ja Kristuses Jeesuses igavesest ajast igavesti kõigi sugupõlvedeni! Aamen.

²¹to him be glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all generations of the age of ages. Amen).
