| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
|
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
|
|
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named ,
|
15 from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
|
|
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
|
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
|
|
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
|
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
|
|
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
|
18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
|
|
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
|
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
|
|
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that worketh in us,
|
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
|
|
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
|
21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
