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.
