that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the father of glory, might give unto you the spirit of wisdom, and open to you the knowledge of himself,

and lighten the eyes of your minds, that ye might know what thing that hope is, whereunto he hath called you, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is upon the saints,

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward, which believe according to the working of that his mighty power,

above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come.

to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God,

that ye may be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man,

might be able to comprehend with all saints, what is that breadth and length, depth and height:

and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God.

that the saints might have all things necessary to work and minister withal, to the edifying of the body of Christ,

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

whom I sent unto you for the same purpose: that ye might know what case I stand in, and that he might comfort your hearts.
