Ephesians 3:14-19

Paul’s Prayer for Inner Strength

14
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15
Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named:
16
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man:
17
That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity,
18
You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19
To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.
