which is father over all that is called father in heaven and in earth, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger], and having done everything [that the crisis demands], to stand firm [in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious].
