15 Since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people, this is the reason that
15
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason
16 I don't stop giving thanks to God for you when I remember you in my prayers.
16
I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation that makes God known to you.
17
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him,
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart will have enough light to see what is the hope of God's call, what is the richness of God's glorious inheritance among believers,
18
so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints,
19 and what is the overwhelming greatness of God's power that is working among us believers. This power is conferred by the energy of God's powerful strength.
19
and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power.
20 God's power was at work in Christ when God raised him from the dead and sat him at God's right side in the heavens,
20
God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above every ruler and authority and power and angelic power, any power that might be named not only now but in the future.
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 age to come.
22 God put everything under Christ's feet and made him head of everything in the church,
22
And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church,
23 which is his body. His body, the church, is the fullness of Christ, who fills everything in every way.
23
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
