Ephesians 3:13-21

13Therefore I ask 1you not 2to lose heart at my tribulations 3on your behalf, 4for they are your glory.

14For this reason I 5bow my knees before the Father, 15from whom 6every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, 16that He would grant you, according to 7the riches of His glory, to be 8strengthened with power through His Spirit in 9the inner man, 17so that 10Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being 11rooted and 12grounded in love, 18may be able to comprehend with 13all the 14saints what is 15the breadth and length and height and depth, 19and to know 16the love of Christ which 17surpasses knowledge, that you may be 18filled up to all the 19fullness of God.

20 20Now to Him who is 21able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, 22according to the power that works within us, 21 23to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations 24forever and ever. Amen.
