Arc 1:15-23
NT
Ephesians 1:15-23
This usage mirrors that expressed in Rom 8:11 where we are told to not give up our hope of the resurrection because the same power that raised Christ from the dead will raise us up, as well.
Since we have all become God's own possession, having trusted and obeyed the Word of Truth, the Gospel of our salvation.
Διὰ τοῦτο
having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints
ἀκούσας τὴν καθ’ ὑμᾶς πίστιν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ⸂ ἀγάπην τὴν ⸃ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,
I do not cease giving thanks for you while remembering you in my prayers
κἀγώ οὐ παύομαι εὐχαριστῶν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ⸀ μνείαν ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου,
inference
My prayer being that God, the Father of Glory, who sent our Lord Jesus Christ, may give you all a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowing of Him
ἵνα ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ πατὴρ τῆς δόξης, δώῃ ὑμῖν πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως ἐν ἐπιγνώσει αὐτοῦ,
(since you have had the eyes of your hearts enlightened (when you believed)),
πεφωτισμένους τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς καρδίας ὑμῶν
ground
in order that (by knowing Him in spirit) you may know (attain/experience)
εἰς τὸ εἰδέναι ὑμᾶς
1) what is the hope to which he has called you,
τίς ἐστιν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς κλήσεως αὐτοῦ,
2) what are the riches of his glorious inheritance, that is the saints (glorified)
⸀ τίς ὁ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις,
3) and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe
καὶ τί τὸ ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ εἰς ἡμᾶς τοὺς πιστεύοντας
series
and all this according to the (supernatural) working of his great might
κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ
which he worked on Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenlies
ἣν ⸀ ἐνήργηκεν ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ ἐγείρας αὐτὸν ⸀ ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ ⸀ καθίσας ἐν δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις
far above all rule, authority, power and dominion, and above every name that has been named not only in this age but also in the age to come.
ὑπεράνω πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐξουσίας καὶ δυνάμεως καὶ κυριότητος καὶ παντὸς ὀνόματος ὀνομαζομένου οὐ μόνον ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι·
And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the Church
καὶ πάντα ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν κεφαλὴν ὑπὲρ πάντα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ,
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
ἥτις ἐστὶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν πληρουμένου.
