For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your
love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you

in my prayers.

 

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you
the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know
the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy
people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the
same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and
seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority,
power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age

but also in the one to come.

 

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over
everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in

every way.


Ephesians 1:15-23
