18a: is this the purpose of just the enlightening of 18a or of the giving in 17? OVERALL ARGUMENT: Paul does not cease praying for them in order that they might be given a spirit of wisdom and insight into all the stuff God has done on their behalf in Christ's work. *The three finite verbs in 20a, 22a and 22b are all parallel and united QUESTION: (this would change my arc) Should 20-21 be the only "Explaining" of v. 19's relative pronoun? Thus making 22-23 in a Series/Progression along side 19+20-21, and then making 18+19+20-21 one unit that is explanatory: that which we are purposed to know is what is in those three short sentences, and is then explained further by the long relative clause in 20-21. Check Tom's diagram. QUESTION: If 20–23 are the explanation of the "working of great might" which God worked in Christ, then is Paul limiting God's working of might only to Christ's resurrection and seating him above all powers and making him head of the church? Does this keep us from saying what the theology of the cross says, that God's power is most exhibited in Christ's weakness in life and dying, as well as his resurrection? 1 Cor. 1:17–31; QUESTION: What does Paul mean by "spirit of wisdom/revelation" in the knowledge of "him"? Is this trinitarian as Letham takes it? (pp. 79–80) Is the αυτου pointing to Father or Son? Does this mean that knowledge of God comes from God revealing it alone, and therefore only through this particular God who is the Father of Glory and the God of Jesus Christ? Implications for world religions?
