¹⁷I pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the glorious Father. I keep asking him to give you the wisdom and understanding that come from the Holy Spirit. I want you to know God better.

¹⁸I also pray that your mind might see more clearly. Then you will know the hope God has chosen you to receive. You will know that the things God’s people will receive are rich and glorious. ¹⁹And you will know his great power. It can’t be compared with anything else. It is at work for us who believe. It is like the mighty strength ²⁰God showed when he raised Christ from the dead.

He seated him at his right hand in his heavenly kingdom. ²¹There Christ sits far above all who rule and have authority. He also sits far above all powers and kings. He is above every title that can be given in this world and in the world to come.

²²God placed all things under Christ’s rule. He appointed him to be ruler over everything for the church. ²³The church is Christ’s body. It is filled by Christ. He fills everything in every way.
