Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

When you read this, you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner man,

For this reason I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles

which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to make plain to everyone the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

This was according to the eternal purpose which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.

in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him.

may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
