Ephesians 1:15-19

15For this reason I too, 1having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and 2your love for 3all the 4saints,

16 5do not cease giving thanks for you, 6while making mention of you in my prayers;

17that the 7God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of 9wisdom and of 10revelation in the 11knowledge of Him.

18I pray that 12the eyes of your heart 13may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the 14hope of His 15calling, what are 16the riches of the glory of 17His inheritance in 18the 19saints,

19and what is the 20boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. 21These are in accordance with the working of the 22strength of His might
