infinitely more

This is Paul talking here, from the jail cell of his final imprisonment...


Ephesians 3 

14 When I think of all this, 

I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 

15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 

16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources 

he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 

17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts 

as you trust in him. 

Your roots will grow down into God’s love 

and keep you strong. 

18 And may you have the power to understand, 

as all God’s people should, 

how wide, 

how long, 

how high, 

and how deep 

his love is. 

19 May you experience the love of Christ, 

though it is too great to understand fully. 

Then you will be made complete 

with all the fullness of life 

and power 

that comes from God.

20 Now by his mighty power at work within us,

God is able to to accomplish

infinitely more

than we could ever dare to ask or hope. 

21 Glory to him in the church 

and in Christ Jesus 

through all generations 

forever and ever! Amen.
