Ephesians 3:14-4:6

English Standard Version

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

¹⁴For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, ¹⁵from whom ^(A)every family^[a] in heaven and on earth is named, ¹⁶that according to ^(B)the riches of his glory ^(C)he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit ^(D)in your inner being, ¹⁷^(E)so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ^(F)rooted and ^(G)grounded in love, ¹⁸may have strength to ^(H)comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and ^(I)height and depth, ¹⁹and to know the love of Christ ^(J)that surpasses knowledge, that ^(K)you may be filled with all ^(L)the fullness of God.

²⁰^(M)Now to ^(N)him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, ^(O)according to the power at work within us, ²¹^(P)to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Unity in the Body of Christ

4 I therefore, ^(Q)a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to ^(R)walk in a manner worthy of ^(S)the calling to which you have been called, ²with all ^(T)humility and ^(U)gentleness, with ^(V)patience, ^(W)bearing with one another in love, ³eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in ^(X)the bond of peace. ⁴There is ^(Y)one body and ^(Z)one Spirit—just as you were called to the one ^(AA)hope that belongs to your call— ⁵^(AB)one Lord, ^(AC)one faith, ^(AD)one baptism, ⁶^(AE)one God and Father of all, ^(AF)who is over all and through all and in all.
