Some take these as for a cause, and the effect, viz. might to be the cause of power, power to be meant of strength which is in us, and might to be in the Lord: as if he had said, In that power which ye receive from the Lord. But 1 this is a curious distinction without ground. 2 It is the Apostles purpose here, to raise up our minds out of our selves, to a higher power without us, and above us: Wherefore it is rather an Hebraism, and so it is translated by some (his mighty power:) like as in the 1 chapter ver. 19. So that it adds an emphasis, showing this power of the Lord to be a most Almighty power.
