To Know the Messiah’s Love

¹⁴ This is the reason I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,^{[a] 15} from whom every family^[b] in heaven and on earth receives its name. ¹⁶ I pray^[c] that he would give you, according to his glorious riches, strength in your inner being and power through his Spirit, ¹⁷ and that the Messiah^[d] would make his home in your hearts through faith. Then, having been rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ you will be able to understand, along with all the saints, what is wide, long, high, and deep— ¹⁹ that is, you will know the love of the Messiah^[e]— which transcends knowledge, and will be filled with all the fullness of God.
