Prayer for Spiritual Power

14 For this reason I kneel(A) before the Father[a] 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. 16 I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches(B) of his glory,(C) to be strengthened with power(D) in your inner being(E) through his Spirit, 17 and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love,(F) 19 and to know Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able(G) to do above and beyond all that we ask or think(H) according to the power(I) that works in us –  21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.(J)

Unity and Diversity in the Body of Christ

Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord,(K) urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility(L) and gentleness, with patience,(M) bearing(N) with one another in love,(O) making every effort to keep the unity(P) of the Spirit(Q) through the bond of peace.
