That, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you a Spirit of wisdom and understanding in gaining a personal knowledge of him, -

If at least ye have heard of the administration of the favour of God which hath been given unto me for you,

Of which I was made a minister, according to the free-gift of the favour of God which was given unto me, according to the energy of his power:

Unto me - the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

In order that he may give unto you - according to his glorious riches, with power, to be strengthened, through his Spirit, in the inner man,

To each one of you, however, hath favour been given, according to the measure of the free-gift of the Christ;

Let, no putrid discourse, out of your mouth, be going forth, but if anything is good - suited to the needful upbuilding, - that it may give benefit unto them that hear;

And on behalf of me; - that, unto me, may be given discourse in the opening of my mouth, with freedom of utterance, to make known the sacred secret of the glad-message
