14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
|
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
|
|
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
|
15 from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
|
|
16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through 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 and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, 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 have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
|
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 surpasses knowledge, that you may 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 to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
|
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 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.
|
21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
