15For this reason, I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

16I do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

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

18having the eyes of your heart enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of the glory of his inheritance among the saints,

19and what is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength

20which he worked in the Messiah when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,

21far above every rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

22And he subjected all things under his feet, and gave him as head over all things to the church,

23which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in all.
