3 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

14With this in mind, then, I kneel in prayer to the Father,To Know the Love of Christ Eph.3.14-21Τούτου χάριν κάμπτω τὰ γόνατά μου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα,
15from whom every family Or: his whole family. in heaven and on earth takes its name, ἐξ οὗ πᾶσα πατριὰ ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ὀνομάζεται,
16that out of the treasures of his glory he may grant you strength and power through his Spirit in your inner being, ἵνα δῷ ὑμῖν κατὰ τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ δυνάμει κραταιωθῆναι διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἐσω ἄνθρωπον,
17that through faith Christ may dwell in your hearts in love. With deep roots and firm foundations, κατοικῆσαι τὸν Χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι,
18may you be strong to grasp, with all God's people, what is the breadth and length and height and depth ἵνα ἐξισχύσητε καταλαβέσθαι σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀγίοις τί τὸ πλάτος καὶ μῆκος καὶ ὑψος καὶ βάθος,
19of the love of Christ, and to know it, though it is beyond knowledge. So may you attain to fullness of being, the fullness of God himself. Or: the fullness which God requires.
 γνῶναί τε τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν τῆς γνώσεως ἀγάπην τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα πληρωθῆτε εἰς πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ θεοῦ.
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or conceive, by the power which is at work among us, Τῷ δὲ δυναμένῳ ὑπὲρ πάντα ποιῆσαι ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ ὧν αἰτούμεθα ἢ νοοῦμεν κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἡμῖν,
21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus from generation to generation evermore! Amen.
 αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.
