9. and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the ages has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
10. To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} the manifold wisdom of God,
11. according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,
12. In whom we have security and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13. Therefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
15. (of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named),
16. that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man,
17. that the Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye, being rooted and grounded in charity,
18. may be able to well comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height
