14 This is the reason that I bow my knees [in prayer] to the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth receives its name. [Note: Here Paul resumes the prayer he began in verse 1].
16 [I pray] that, according to God’s glorious abundance, He would empower you to become [spiritually] strong through His Holy Spirit in your inner person,
17 so that Christ will live in your hearts through faith. [I pray] that you will be rooted and grounded in [your] love,
18 so that you, along with all the saints [i.e., God’s holy people], will be [spiritually] strong enough to grasp how wide and long and high and deep [Christ’s love is];
19 and to know that His love for us surpasses [our] knowledge, so that you people will be completely filled with the fullness of God.
20 May there be to God, who is able to do infinitely more [for us] than we could [even] ask or think, according to [His] power at work in us ---
21 [I say] may there be praise to God in the church and in [or, “for”] Christ Jesus throughout all generations of people for ages and ages. May it be so.
