strengthened with power by His Spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in
your hearts through faith; so that, being rooted and grounded in
love, may you be fully able to understand, along with all the saints, what is the
width, length, height, and depth, and to know the love of Christ that
surpasses all knowledge; so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
And to him who is able to do all things much more abundantly than what
we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the church and
in Christ Jesus, for all generations of all ages, forever. Amen
