Ephesians 3:14-21
Appreciation of the Mystery
14 For this reason, I bow my knees to the (Eph. 1:3) Father (NU omits of our Lord Jesus Christ) of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 that He would grant you, [Eph. 1:7; 2:4; Phil. 4:19] according to the riches of His glory, (1 Cor. 16:13; Phil. 4:13; Col. 1:11) to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
17 (John 14:23; Rom. 8:9; 2 Cor. 13:5; [Eph. 2:22]) that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, (Col. 1:23) being rooted and grounded in love,
18 (Eph. 1:18) may be able to comprehend with all the saints (Rom. 8:39) what is the width and length and depth and height—
19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled (Eph. 1:23) with all the fullness of God.
20 Now (Rom. 16:25) to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly (1 Cor. 2:9) above all that we ask or think, (Col. 1:29) according to the power that works in us,
21 (Rom. 11:36) to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
