10 The purpose of this enlightenment is that through the church the multifaceted wisdom of God should now be disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms.
11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
12 in whom we have boldness and confident access to God because of Christ’s faithfulness.
13 For this reason I ask you not to lose heart because of what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on the earth is named.
16 I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
