For this cause, I also, - having heard of the faith on your part in the Lord Jesus, and that towards all the saints,

Cease not giving thanks in your behalf, making mention in my prayers,

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, -

The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that ye may know - what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

And what the surpassing greatness of his power unto us who believe, - according to the energy of the grasp of his might

which he energised in the Christ, when he raised him from among the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenlies,

Over-above all principality, authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one,

And did put, all things, in subjection beneath his feet. And gave him to be head over all things unto the assembly,

Which, indeed, is his body, the fulness of him who, the all things in all, is for himself filling up.
