Ephesians 3:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Ephesians 3:15

13 ^aTherefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, ^bwhich is your glory.

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the ^aFather of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 that He would grant you, ^aaccording to the riches of His glory, ^bto be strengthened with might through His Spirit in ^cthe inner man,

17 ^athat Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, ^bbeing rooted and grounded in love,

18 ^amay be able to comprehend with all the saints ^bwhat is the width and length and depth and height—

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled ^awith all the fullness of God.

20 Now ^ato Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly ^babove all that we ask or think, ^caccording to the power that works in us,

21 ^ato Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
