Ephesians 1:16-23

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁶Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
 ¹⁷That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
 ¹⁸The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
 ¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
 ²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
 ²¹Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
 ²²And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
 ²³Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 1:16-23

Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹⁶I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers.

    ¹⁷[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,

    ¹⁸By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),

    ¹⁹And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

    ²⁰Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],

    ²¹Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.

    ²²And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church],

    ²³Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].
