Blessed in Christ and Enlightened to Know His Power

Paul blesses God for every spiritual blessing in Christ, then prays that believers would know the hope, inheritance, and power already given to them through Christ's exaltation.

15For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

16I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

18I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

19and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
