| 1因此，我保祿為你們外邦人的緣故，作基督耶穌囚犯的，為你們祈禱── | 1For this reason I, Paul, came to be the prisoner of Christ for you, the non-Jews. |
| 2想你們必聽說過天主的恩寵，為了你們賜與我的職分； | 2You may have heard of the graces God bestowed on me for your sake. |
| 3就是藉着啟示，使我得知我在上邊已大略寫過的奧秘； | 3By a revelation he gave me the knowledge of his mysterious design, as I have explained in a few words. |
| 4你們照着讀了，便能明白我對基督的奧秘所有的了解， | 4On reading them you will have some idea of how I understand the mystery of Christ. |
| 5這奧秘在以前的世代中，沒有告訴過任何人，有如現在一樣，藉聖神已啟示給他的聖宗徒和先知； | 5This mystery was not made known to past generations but only now, through revelations given to holy apostles and prophets. |
| 6這奧秘就是：外邦人藉着福音在基督耶穌內與猶太人同為承繼人，同為一身，同為恩許的分享人。 | 6Now the non-Jewish people share the Inheritance; in Christ Jesus the non-Jews are incorporated and are to enjoy the Promise. This is the Good News |
| 7至於我，我依照天主大能的功效所賜與我的恩寵，作了這福音的僕役； | 7of which I have become minister by a gift of God, a grace he gave me, when his power worked in me. |
| 8我原是一切聖徒中最小的，竟蒙受了這恩寵，得向外邦宣佈基督那不可測量的豐富福音， | 8This grace was given to me, the least among all the holy ones: to announce to the pagan nations the immeasurable riches of Christ |
| 9並光照一切人，使他們明白，從創世以來，即隱藏在創造萬有的天主內的奧秘， | 9and to make clear to all how the mystery, hidden from the beginning in God, the Creator of all things, is to be fulfilled. |
| 10為使天上的率領者和掌權者，現在藉着教會，得知天主的各樣智慧， | 10Even the heavenly forces and powers will now discover through the Church the wisdom of God in its manifold expression, as the plan is being fulfilled |
| 11全是按照他在我們的主基督耶穌內所實現的永遠計劃； | 11which God designed from the beginning in Christ Jesus, our Lord. |
| 12所以只有在基督內，我們纔可藉着對他所懷的信德，放心大膽地懷着依恃之心，進到天主面前。 | 12In him we receive boldness and confidence to approach God. |
| 13為此，我請求你們，不要因我為你們所受的苦難而沮喪，我的苦難原是你們的光榮。 | 13So I ask you not to be discouraged at seeing the trials I endure for you, but rather to feel proud because of them. |
| 14因此，我在天父面前屈膝── | 14And now I kneel in the presence of the Father |
| 15上天下地的一切家族都是由他而得名── | 15from whom every family in heaven and on earth has received its name. |
| 16求他依照他豐富的光榮，藉着他的聖神，以大能堅固你們內在的人， | 16May he strengthen in you the inner self through his Spirit, according to the riches of his glory; |
| 17並使基督因着你們的信德，住在你們心中，叫你們在愛德上根深蒂固，奠定基礎， | 17may Christ dwell in your hearts through faith; may you be rooted and founded in love. |
| 18為使你們能夠同眾聖徒領悟基督的愛是怎樣的廣、闊、高、深， | 18All of this so that you may understand with all the holy ones the width, the length, the height and the depth - in a word, |
| 19並知道基督的愛是遠超人所能知的，為叫你們充滿天主的一切富裕。 | 19that you may know the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled and reach the fullness of God. |
| 20願光榮歸於天主，他能照他在我們身上所發揮的德能，成就一切，遠超我們所求所想的。 | 20Glory to God who shows his power in us and can do much more than we could ask or imagine; |
| 21願他在教會內並在基督耶穌內，獲享光榮，至於萬世萬代！阿們。 | 21glory to him in the Church and in Christ Jesus through all generations for ever and ever. Amen. |
