Ephesians 314-21
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the
whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16
that He would grant you, according to the riches
of His glory, to be strengthened with might
through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith
that you, being rooted and grounded in love, NKJV
4
18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is the width and length and depth and
height-- 19 to know the love of Christ which
passes knowledge that you may be filled with all
the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us, 21 to
Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all
generations, forever and ever. Amen.
