12. so that we should be to the praise of his glory, those of us who first trusted in the Christ.
13. In whom ye also trusted, hearing the word of truth, the gospel of your saving health; in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of the promise,
14. which is the earnest of our inheritance unto the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15. Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and charity unto all the saints,
16. cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17. 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. illuminating the eyes of your understanding, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints
19. and what is the exceeding greatness of his power in us who believe, by the operation of the power of his strength,
20. which operated in the Christ, raising him from the dead and setting him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21. far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come,
22. And has put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones},
23. which is his body, and he is the fullness of her: who fills all things in everyone.
