Ephesians 1:16-19

161do 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 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 16boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. 17These are in accordance with the working of the 18strength of His might
