1 Es por esto que yo, Pablo, prisionero de Jesucristo por causa de ustedes los extranjeros,
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
2 (pues, asumo que ustedes han oído que Dios me dio la responsabilidad específica de compartir la gracia de Dios con ustedes),
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
3 por lo que Dios me mostró, aclaró el misterio que estaba oculto anteriormente. Yo les escribí brevemente sobre esto,
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 y cuando lean esto podrán entender mi opinión sobre el misterio de Cristo.
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
5 En las generaciones pasadas esto no se le había explicado a nadie, pero ahora ha sido revelado a los santos apóstoles de Dios y a los profetas por medio del Espíritu,
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 que los extranjeros son herederos también, parte del mismo cuerpo, y en Cristo Jesús comparten en la promesa por medio de la buena noticia.
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 Me convertí en ministro de esta buena noticia por medio del regalo de la gracia de Dios que se me dio por su poder que obraba en mí.
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 Esta gracia me fue dada a mí, al menos importante de todos los cristianos, con el fin de compartir con los extranjeros el increíble valor de Cristo,
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 y para ayudar a todos a ver el propósito del misterio que desde el mismo principio estaba oculto en Dios, quien hizo todas las cosas.
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 El plan de Dios fue que los distintos aspectos de su sabiduría fueran revelados por medio de la iglesia a los gobernantes y autoridades en el cielo.
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 Esto fue conforme al propósito eterno de Dios que llevó a cabo en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.
11 according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Por él y nuestra fe en él podemos acercarnos a Dios con total confianza y libertad.
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Por eso les pido que no se desanimen por mi sufrimiento, ¡es por ustedes y deberían apreciarlo!
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14 Por eso me arrodillo ante el Padre
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 de quien todas las familias del cielo y de la tierra reciben su naturaleza y carácter,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 le ruego que, de sus riquezas de gloria, los fortalezca con poder en lo más íntimo de su ser por medio de su Espíritu.
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 Que Cristo viva en sus corazones a medida que confían en él, a fin de que sembrados profundamente en amor
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 adquieran el poder para comprender, junto a todo el pueblo de Dios, la amplitud, la longitud, la altura y la profundidad del amor de Cristo.
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
19 Que conozcan el amor de Cristo que sobrepasa todo conocimiento, para que puedan ser llenos y alcancen la plenitud que proviene de Dios.
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Que por su poder que obra dentro de nosotros, Aquél que es poderoso para hacer más de lo que le pedimos o siquiera alcanzamos a pensar,
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 sea él glorificado en la iglesia y en Cristo Jesús por todas las generaciones, por siempre y para siempre. Amén.
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.
