Ephesians 1:17-22

17asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.

18I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

19I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power

20that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

21Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come.

22God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.
