Ephesians 1:13-23

13In 1Him, you also, after listening to 2the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also 3believed, you were 4sealed in 5Him with 6the Holy Spirit of promise, 14who is 78given as a pledge of 9our inheritance, with a view to the 10redemption of 11God’s own possession, 12to the praise of His glory.

15For this reason I too, 13having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and 14your love for 15all the 16saints, 1617do not cease giving thanks for you, 18while making mention of you in my prayers; 17that the 19God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 20the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of 21wisdom and of 22revelation in the 23knowledge of Him. 18I pray that 24the eyes of your heart 25may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the 26hope of His 27calling, what are 28the riches of the glory of 29His inheritance in 30the 31saints, 19and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. 32These are in accordance with the working of the 33strength of His might 20which He brought about in Christ, when He 34raised Him from the dead and 35seated Him at His right hand in 36the heavenly places, 21far above 37all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every 38name that is named, not only in 39this age but also in the one to come. 22And He 40put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as 41head over all things to the church, 23which is His 42body, the 43fullness of Him who 44fills 45all in all.
