Ephesians 1:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,

20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
