← Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians

15. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord 16. Jesus, and love unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for 17. you, making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our. Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18. the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches 19. of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what 7s the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, ac- 20. cording to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at 21. his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all princi- pality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which 22. is to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and gave 28. him to be the head over all things to his church: which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
