(9) He hath made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself, (10) that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in Him. (11) In Christ also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will, (12) that we, who first trusted in Christ, should be to the praise of His glory. (13) In Christ ye also trusted after ye heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation, in Whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (14) which is the pledge of our inheritance until 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 your love for all the saints, (16) cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. (17) I pray 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) the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, 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 toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, (20) which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set 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 world, but also in that which is to come. (22) And God hath put all things under His feet, and hath given Him to be the head over all things to the church, (23) which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.”
(Ephesians 1:5–23 Amp.)
(17) “Be unceasing and persistent in prayer (23) Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:17 & 23 Amp.)
(12) “In whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him [that is, our faith gives us sufficient courage to freely and openly approach God through Christ]. (14) For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], (15) from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name [God—the first and ultimate Father]. (16) May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], (17) so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, (18) be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; (19) and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. (20) Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, (21) to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.”
(Ephesians 3:12, 14–21 Amp.)
(8) “For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus [whose great love fills me]. (9) And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more [displaying itself in greater depth] in real knowledge and in practical insight, (10) so that you may learn to recognize and treasure what is excellent [identifying the best, and distinguishing moral differences], and that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ [actually living lives that lead others away from sin]; (11) filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God [so that His glory may be both revealed and recognized].”
(Philippians 1:8–11 Amp.)
(3) “We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we pray always for you (9) For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped praying for you, asking [specifically] that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things], (10) so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; (11) [we pray that you may be] strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy.”
(Colossians 1:3, 9–11 Amp.)
