Ephesians 1:15-23 GNB For this reason, ever since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God's people, (16) I have not stopped giving thanks to God for you. I remember you in my prayers (17) and ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to give you the Spirit, who will make you wise and reveal God to you, so that you will know him. (18) I ask that your minds may be opened to see his light, so that you will know what is the hope to which he has called you, how rich are the wonderful blessings he promises his people, (19) and how very great is his power at work in us who believe. This power working in us is the same as the mighty strength (20) which he used when he raised Christ from death and seated him at his right side in the heavenly world. (21) Christ rules there above all heavenly rulers, authorities, powers, and lords; he has a title superior to all titles of authority in this world and in the next. (22) God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as supreme Lord over all things. (23) The church is Christ's body, the completion of him who himself completes all things everywhere.
Ephesians 1:15-23 ESV For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, (16) I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, (17) that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, (18) having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, (19) and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might (20) that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, (21) far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. (22) And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, (23) which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 1:15-23 GW I, too, have heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God's people. For this reason (16) I never stop thanking God for you. I always remember you in my prayers. (17) I pray that the glorious Father, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Christ better. (18) Then you will have deeper insight. You will know the confidence that he calls you to have and the glorious wealth that God's people will inherit. (19) You will also know the unlimited greatness of his power as it works with might and strength for us, the believers. (20) He worked with that same power in Christ when he brought him back to life and gave him the highest position in heaven. (21) He is far above all rulers, authorities, powers, lords, and all other names that can be named, not only in this present world but also in the world to come. (22) God has put everything under the control of Christ. He has made Christ the head of everything for the good of the church. (23) The church is Christ's body and completes him as he fills everything in every way.
