¹⁴ For this reason I kneel before the Father, ¹⁵ from whom every family^[a] in heaven and on earth is named, ¹⁶ that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self,^{(A) 17} and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love,^{(B) 18} may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth,^{(C) 19} and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.^(D)

⁹ Therefore, from the day we heard this, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding^{(A) 10} to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God,

⁶ so that your partnership in the faith may become effective in recognizing every good there is in us^[a] that leads to Christ.^(A)
