Ephesians 3:14-21 (AMP)

14 For this reason [[a]seeing the greatness of this plan by which (we) you are built together in Christ], (we) I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name].

16 May He grant (my family) you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the (our) inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling (our) your innermost being and personality].

17 May Christ through your (our) faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your (our) hearts! May (we) you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,

18 That (we) you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];

19 [That (we) you may really come] to know [practically, [b]through experience for (ourselves) yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses [c]mere knowledge [without experience]; that (we) you may be filled [through all (our) your being] [d]unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and [e]become a (family) body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—

21 To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
