Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
That ye may be strong (ina ecisxushte). Sub-final clause again with ina and the first aorist active subjunctive of ecisxuw, a late and rare compound (from ec, isxuw) to have full strength. Here only in N.T.
To apprehend (katalabesqai). Second aorist middle infinitive of katalambanw, old and common verb, to lay hold of effectively (kata-), here with the mind, to grasp (Acts 25:25).
With all the saints (sun pasin toiv agioiv). No isolated privilege. Fellowship open to all. Paul gives a rectangular (four dimension) measure of love (breadth platov, length mhkov, height uyov, depth baqov, all common enough words).
