52. Ephesians 1:18-21
© 2019 The Chalmers Center
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that
you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of
his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably
great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the
mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the
dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far
above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name
that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to
come.
