Prayer for Spiritual Insight
15 This is
why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the
saints, 16 I never
stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,[a] would give you a
spirit[b] of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of Him. 18 I pray that the perception
of your mind[c] may be enlightened so
you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious
riches of His inheritance among the saints,19 and what
is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to
the working of His vast strength.
God’s Power in Christ
20 He
demonstrated this power in the Messiah by raising Him from the dead and seating
Him at His right hand in the heavens— 21 far above every ruler and
authority, power and dominion, and every title given,[d] not only in this age
but also in the one to come. 22 And He
put everything under His feet[e] and appointed Him as
head over everything for the church, 23 which is His body, the
fullness of the One who fills all things in every way.
