That the eyes of your understanding may be lightened, that ye may know what the hope is of his calling, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is in his Saints, 19. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us, which believe, according to the working of his mighty power. verse. 20. Which he wrought in Christ. cha. 3.18. That ye may be able to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height: 19. And to know the love of Christ.
