wide, long, high, deep

This is Paul, writing to the followers of Jesus in Ephesus...

Ephesians 3 

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 

15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches 

he may strengthen you 

with power through his Spirit 

in your inner being, 

17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. 

And I pray that you, 

being rooted and established in love, 

18 may have power, 

together with all the Lord’s holy people, 

to grasp how wide 

and long 

and high 

and 

deep 

is the love of Christ, 

19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge;

that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20 By his might power at work within us, 

he is able to accomplish 

infinitely more 

than we would ever dare to ask 

or hope. 

21 To him be glory in the church 

and in Christ Jesus 

throughout all generations, 

for ever and ever! Amen.
