Ephesians 1:15-23

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵¶ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and charity unto all the saints,

¹⁶cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

¹⁷that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

¹⁸illuminating the eyes of your understanding, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints

¹⁹and what is the exceeding greatness of his power in us who believe, by the operation of the power of his strength,

²⁰which operated in the Christ, raising him from the dead and setting him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

²¹far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come,

²²And has put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the congregation, {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}

²³which is his body, and he is the fullness of her: who fills all things in everyone.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

¹⁵For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus^(A) and your love for all God’s people,^(B) ¹⁶I have not stopped giving thanks for you,^(C) remembering you in my prayers.^(D) ¹⁷I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,^(E) may give you the Spirit^[a] of wisdom^(F) and revelation, so that you may know him better. ¹⁸I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened^(G) in order that you may know the hope to which he has called^(H) you, the riches^(I) of his glorious inheritance^(J) in his holy people,^(K) ¹⁹and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power^(L) is the same as the mighty strength^(M) ²⁰he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead^(N) and seated him at his right hand^(O) in the heavenly realms,^(P) ²¹far above all rule and authority, power and dominion,^(Q) and every name^(R) that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.^(S) ²²And God placed all things under his feet^(T) and appointed him to be head^(U) over everything for the church, ²³which is his body,^(V) the fullness of him^(W) who fills everything in every way.^(X)
