New International Version NIV
14 For grace of this thing I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14
For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 of whom each fatherhood in heavens and in earth is named, [of whom each fatherhood in heaven and in earth is named,]
15
from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16 that he give to you, after the riches of his glory, virtue to be strengthened 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 dwell by faith in your hearts; that ye rooted and grounded in charity,
17
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18 be able to comprehend with all saints, which is the breadth, and the length, and the highness, and the deepness; [that ye may comprehend with all saints, which is the breadth, and length, and highness, and deepness;]
18
may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19 also to know the charity of Christ more excellent than science [also to know the charity of Christ above-seeming to science], that ye be filled in all the plenty 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 And to him that is mighty to do all things more plenteously than we ask or understand, by the virtue that worketh in us [after the virtue 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 to him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus, into all the generations of the world of worlds [into all the generations of the worlds of worlds]. Amen.
21
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
