16 I (A)do not cease to give thanks for you, (B)remembering you in my prayers, 17 that (C)the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, (D)may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 (E)having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is (F)the hope to which he has called you, what are (G)the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, (H)according to the working of (I)his great might 20 that he worked in Christ (J)when he raised him from the dead and (K)seated him at his right hand (L)in the heavenly places, 21 (M)far above (N)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above (O)every name that is named, not only in (P)this age but also in the one to come.

16-17 I have never stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is and all that he has done for you. 18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can see something of the future he has called you to share. I want you to realize that God has been made rich because we who are Christ’s have been given to him! 19 I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him. It is that same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in heaven, 21 far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader. Yes, his honor is far more glorious than that of anyone else either in this world or in the world to come.
