Ephesians 1:16-23

16 1do not cease giving thanks for you, 2while making mention of you in my prayers;

17that the 3God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 4the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of 5wisdom and of 6revelation in the 7knowledge of Him.

18I pray that 8the eyes of your heart 9may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the 10hope of His 11calling, what are 12the riches of the glory of 13His inheritance in 14the 15saints,

19and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. 16These are in accordance with the working of the 17strength of His might

20which He brought about in Christ, when He 18raised Him from the dead and 19seated Him at His right hand in 20the heavenly places,

21far above 21all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every 22name that is named, not only in 23this age but also in the one to come.

22And He 24put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as 25head over all things to the church,

23which is His 26body, the 27fullness of Him who 28fills 29all in all.
