Ephesians 1:20

Ephesians 1:20

18 ^athe eyes of your¹ understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is ^bthe hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, ^aaccording to the working of His mighty power

20 which He worked in Christ when ^aHe raised Him from the dead and ^bseated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

21 ^afar above all ^bprincipality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

22 And ^aHe put all things under His feet, and gave Him ^bto be head over all things to the church,

23 ^awhich is His body, ^bthe fullness of Him ^cwho fills all in all.

Which he wrought (enhrghken). Reading of A B rather than aorist enhrghsen. Perfect active indicative, "which he has wrought." hn is cognate accusative of the relative referring to energeian (energy) with enhrghken and note also kratouv (strength) and isxuov (might), three words trying to express what surpasses (uperballon) expression or comprehension.

Made him to sit (kaqisav). First aorist active participle of kaqizw in causative sense as in I Corinthians 6:4. Metaphorical local expression like deciai and en toiv epour anioiv.
