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 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

20which He brought about in Christ, when He 19raised Him from the dead and 20seated Him at His right hand in 21the heavenly places,

21far above 22all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every 23name that is named, not only in 24this age but also in the one to come.

22And He 25put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him 26head over all things to the church,

23which is His 27body, the 28fullness of Him who 29fills 30all in all.
