A Prayer for the Ephesians
14 For this reason I kneel(A) before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches(B) he may strengthen you with power(C) through his Spirit in your inner being,(D) 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts(E) through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted(F) and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,(G) to grasp how wide and long and high and deep(H) is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge(I)—that you may be filled(J) to the measure of all the fullness of God.(K)
20 Now to him who is able(L) to do immeasurably more than all we ask(M) or imagine, according to his power(N) that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.(O)
Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ
4 As a prisoner(P) for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy(Q) of the calling(R) you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another(S) in love.(T) 3 Make every effort to keep the unity(U) of the Spirit through the bond of peace.(V) 4 There is one body(W) and one Spirit,(X) just as you were called to one hope when you were called(Y); 5 one Lord,(Z) one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all,(AA) who is over all and through all and in all.(AB)
7 But to each one of us(AC) grace(AD) has been given(AE) as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it[b] says:
9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[d]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended(AH) higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)(AI) 11 So Christ himself gave(AJ) the apostles,(AK) the prophets,(AL) the evangelists,(AM) the pastors and teachers,(AN) 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ(AO) may be built up(AP) 13 until we all reach unity(AQ) in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God(AR) and become mature,(AS) attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(AT)

King James Version
Ephesians 3:14-4:13
King James Version
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
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;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness 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,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
