Two Things You May Ask of God – Ephesians 1:15-23
1 (15) For this reason, I, indeed—having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints—(16) do not cease giving thanks for you, mentioning you in my prayers. (17) I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to gain insight in his knowledge, (18) since he has enlightened the eyes of your heart. I pray that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints. (19) And I pray that you may know the immeasurable greatness of his power available to us who believe; that power is in accord with the working of the might of his strength (20) which worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, (21) far above every rule and authority and power and dominion and every title that can be given, not only in this present age but also in the coming age. (22) And he put all things in subjection under his feet, and he appointed him to be head over all things for the church, (23) which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
