1. His Thanks for the Church
- Therefore I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and your love to all the saints,
- Do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
a. The Hope of God’s Calling
- That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him,
- The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling,and what are the riches? of the glory of His inheritance? in the saints,
- And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength,
- Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,
- Far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come;
- And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church,
- Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.
