TS takes the three ἱνα clauses as each subordinate to the above stuff, so all hanging a different levels of discourse. I diagrammed them as parallel, so each ἱνα introduces a new item in the series that Paul is praying for (meaning content ). Which approach makes better sense of the text here? I am arcing TS's approach currently. 17b: I know that the Ground clause cannot come before the main clause. I just don't care. QUESTION: Given the background of Ephesus and the paganism there, what does Paul mean by saying that Christ's love surpasses γνωσις? How loaded is this statement culturally, how radical is it? QUESTION: How does God get glory “in the Church” (v. 21)? How does this differ from his phrasing of 3:10, “so that through the church [δια της εκκλησιας] the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known? QUESTION: What, if any, connection is Paul trying to make in v. 17 by using the verbal form of the noun θεμελιος to his statement and theology from 2:19–20? QUESTION: What does Paul mean by “all the fullness” of God in 3:19? How is it related to Col. 1:19 and 2:9 and the πληρωμα of God that dwells in the incarnate Christ? What about his uses in 1:23 and 4:13 in the same letter? How is this possible ? QUESTION: What force does καταλαμβανω carry? APPrehend or COMprehend?

τούτου χάριν κάμπτω τὰ γόνατά μου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ἐξ οὗ πᾶσα πατριὰ ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ὀνομάζεται

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father from whom every family in heaven and upon the earth is named,

ἵνα δῷ ὑμῖν κατὰ τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ

that , [namely], He might give to you according to the riches of his glory

δυνάμει κραταιωθῆναι διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον

[ namely ], to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner man

κατοικῆσαι τὸν Χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν

[ and ] that Christ dwell in your hearts through faith

series

ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι

[ and because ] you have been rooted and founded in love

ἵνα ἐξισχύσητε καταλαβέσθαι σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις τί τὸ πλάτος καὶ μῆκος καὶ ὕψος καὶ βάθος

[ then as a result of the perfect fact of being rooted and grounded ] so that you might be able to apprehend with all the saints what is the height and length and width and depth,

γνῶναί τε τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν τῆς γνώσεως ἀγάπην τοῦ Χριστοῦ

and [that you might be able] to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge

ἵνα πληρωθῆτε εἰς πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ θεοῦ

in order that you be filled in all the fullness of God.
