Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
For This Reason I Pray For You To Know The Love of Christ And The Fullness of God
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from Whom the whole[a] family in the heavens and on earth is named, 16 asking that He might grant to you in accordance with the riches of His glory that you be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner person 17 so-that[b] Christ may dwell[c] in your hearts through faith, 18 in-order-that[d] you, having[e] been rooted and founded in love, might be strong-enough[f] to grasp[g] together-with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, in-order-that[h] you might be filled to all the fullness of God.
To God Be The Glory
20 Now to the One being able to do super-abundantly beyond all of the things which we ask or think[i] according to the power being at-work[j] in us— 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations forever and ever, amen.
