Bible Question: I wanted to get an explanation of the prayer in Ephesians Chp 1; Verse 16-20 |
Bible Answer: Can you be more specific? As I see it the prayer in verses 18,19 is that they understand what Paul is teaching in verses 1 through 17. Paul has just explained in detail whom God chose in Christ and how this all relates to each believer. Verse 15 "For this reason I too..." (NASB)Paul having heard of their faith and their love, is giving thanks for it (their faith) and praying that they too may (fully) know the hope of their calling. Then, verses 20 thru 23 go on to sum up Christ's unique position in all this and His authority and power. Do you have a "New American Standard Bible," or the Amplified Bible? These two versions are almost self explanitory. Did this help? Psalm 25 |
