13. When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
14. He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory.
15. This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
16. I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.
17. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
18. I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints,
19. and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength.
