enlightening the eyes of your mind so that you may know what the hope is to which he calls you, and how gloriously rich his inheritance is among God's people,

So I ask that what I am having to suffer for your sake may not make me lose heart, for it does you honor.

so that you and all God's people may be strong enough to grasp what breadth, length, height, and depth mean,

What does "he went up" mean, except that he had first gone down to the under parts of the earth?

So what I mean and insist upon in the Lord's name is this: You must no longer live like the heathen, with their frivolity of mind and darkened understanding.

you must make sure what pleases the Lord.

So do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
