Ephesians
Chapters 3:11-17
St Paul from the Trenches 1916
11declaring the purpose which He had from the beginning, and that which He intended before all time, and His infinitely powerful and capable wisdom in ordaining these things in Christ Jesus our Lord,
12for it is in him that we speak so boldly and clearly, it is in him that we are ever drawing nearer to God with such perfect confidence and faith.
13Since this is my appointment and office, have no fear at my imprisonment and my troubles, they are for your sake, they are your glory.
14Knowing all this, the infinite Father is approached by me continually in prayer for you —
15that Father who is the only cause and substance of all that produces, that Father that bears a father's name in the spiritual as in the earthly realm, for there is no other fatherhood but His —
16to Him I make my prayer for you, for the strengthening of that man who is invisible within, for infinite power to be given you according to the wealth of his glory spiritually,
17for the Christ himself to inhabit your hearts by faith in love.
