Ephesians 1:20-23

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.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,

23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
