16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.

21 Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

22 And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church,

23 Which is his body, and the fulness of him who is filled all in all.

That power(J) is the same as the mighty strength(K) 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead(L) and seated him at his right hand(M) in the heavenly realms,(N) 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion,(O) and every name(P) that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.(Q) 22 And God placed all things under his feet(R) and appointed him to be head(S) over everything for the church, 23 which is his body,(T) the fullness of him(U) who fills everything in every way.(V)
