15 For this reason I too, (A)having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and [a]your love for (B)all the [b]saints, 16 (C)do not cease giving thanks for you, (D)while making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the (E)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, (F)the Father of glory, may give to you the [c]Spirit of (G)wisdom and of (H)revelation in the [d]full knowledge of Him, 18 so that you—(I)the eyes of your heart having been enlightened—will know what is the (J)hope of His (K)calling, what are (L)the riches of the glory of (M)His inheritance in (N)the [e]saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe (O)according to the working of the (P)might of His strength, 20 which He worked in Christ, by (Q)raising Him from the dead and (R)seating Him at His right hand in (S)the heavenly places, 21 far above (T)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every (U)name that is named, not only in (V)this age but also in the one to come. 22 And (W)He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as (X)head over all things to the church, 23 which is His (Y)body, the (Z)fullness of Him who (AA)fills (AB)all in all.
