1 Тога сам ради ја, Павле, сужањ Исуса Христа за вас незнабошце,
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
2 будући да чусте службу благодати Божије која је мени дана међу вама,
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
3 да се мени по откривењу каза тајна; као што горе написах укратко,
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 одакле можете читајући познати мој разум у тајни Христовој,
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
5 која се у другим нараштајима не каза синовима човечијим, како се сад откри светим Његовим апостолима и пророцима Духом Светим;
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
6 да незнабошци кроз јеванђеље постану сунаследници и сутелесници и заједничари у обећању Његовом у Христу Исусу,
6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 коме постадох слуга по дару благодати Божје, која ми је дана по чињењу силе његове.
7 of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 Мени најмањем од свих светих даде се ова благодат да објавим међу незнабошцима неисказано богатство Христово,
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 и да откријем свима шта је служба тајне од постања света сакривене у Богу, који је саздао све кроз Исуса Христа;
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
10 да се кроз цркву сад обзнани поглаварствима и властима на небу многоразлична премудрост Божија,
10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
11 по наредби векова, коју учини у Христу Исусу, Господу нашем,
11 according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 у коме имамо слободу и приступ у нади вером Његовом.
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Зато вас молим да се не ослабите због невоља мојих за вас, које су слава ваша.
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14 Тога ради приклањам колена своја пред Оцем Господа нашег Исуса Христа,
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 по коме се сва чељад и на небесима и на земљи зову,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 да вам да силу по богатству славе своје, да се утврдите Духом Његовим за унутрашњег човека,
16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
17 да се Христос усели вером у срца ваша, да будете у љубави укорењени и утемељени;
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 да бисте могли разумети са свима светима шта је ширина и дужина и дубина и висина,
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
19 и познати претежнију од разума љубав Христову, да се испуните сваком пунином Божијом.
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 А Ономе који може још изобилније све чинити шта иштемо или мислимо, по сили која чини у нама,
20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21 Ономе слава у цркви по Христу Исусу у све нараштаје ва век века. Амин.
21 to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We relate how it came to pass,--she leapeth for joy, and triumpheth, and blesseth Thee, who art "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think; for she perceived Thee to have given her more for me than she used to ask by her pitiful and most doleful groanings.

… we also say like the Apostle, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all consolation: and, We bow our knees unto the Father from whom all fatherhood in heaven and on earth is named: glorifying Him with the Only-begotten: for he that denieth the Father, denieth the Son …
