10 This is so God’s multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.
11 This is according to His eternal purpose accomplished in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord.
12 In Him we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.
13 So then I ask you not to be discouraged over my afflictions on your behalf, for they are your glory.
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.
16 I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit,
