having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
