003:010 concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom. 003:011 Such was the eternal purpose which He had formed in Christ Jesus our Lord, 003:012 in whom we have this bold and confident access through our faith in Him. 003:013 Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour. 003:014 For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father, 003:015 from whom the whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name, 003:016 to grant you--in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections--to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being. 003:017 I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea, 003:018 as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth-- 003:019 yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness. 003:020 Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts-- 003:021 to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, world without end!
