Ephesians 3:13-21
English Standard Version
13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering (A)for you, (B)which is your glory.
Prayer for Spiritual Strength
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom (C)every family[a] in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to (D)the riches of his glory (E)he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit (F)in your inner being, 17 (G)so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being (H)rooted and (I)grounded in love, 18 may have strength to (J)comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and (K)height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ (L)that surpasses knowledge, that (M)you may be filled with all (N)the fullness of God.
20 (O)Now to (P)him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, (Q)according to the power at work within us, 21 (R)to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
