^18 [a]With all ^(A)prayer and petition ^[b](B)pray at all times ^(C)in the Spirit, and with this in view, ^[c](D)be on the alert with all ^(E)perseverance and ^(F)petition for all the saints,

⁹ For this reason also, ^(A)since the day we heard of it, ^(B)we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the ^[a](C)knowledge of His will in all spiritual ^(D)wisdom and understanding, ¹⁰ so that you will ^(E)walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, ^[b](F)to please Him in all respects, ^(G)bearing fruit in every good work and ^[c]increasing in the ^[d]knowledge of God; ^11 (H)strengthened with all power, according to ^[e]His glorious might, ^[f]for the attaining of all steadfastness and ^[g]patience; ^(I)joyously ¹² giving thanks to ^(J)the Father, who has qualified us ^[h]to share in ^(K)the inheritance of the ^[i]saints in ^(L)Light.

¹⁵ For this reason I too, ^(A)having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and ^[a]your love for ^(B)all the ^[b]saints, ^16 (C)do not cease giving thanks for you, ^(D)while making mention of you in my prayers; ¹⁷ that the ^(E)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(F)the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of ^(G)wisdom and of ^(H)revelation in the ^[c]knowledge of Him. ¹⁸ I pray that ^(I)the eyes of your heart ^[d]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the ^(J)hope of His ^(K)calling, what are ^(L)the riches of the glory of ^(M)His inheritance in ^(N)the ^[e]saints, ¹⁹ and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. ^(O)These are in accordance with the working of the ^(P)strength of His might ²⁰ which He brought about in Christ, when He ^(Q)raised Him from the dead and ^(R)seated Him at His right hand in ^(S)the heavenly places, ²¹ far above ^(T)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every ^(U)name that is named, not only in ^(V)this age but also in the one to come. ²² And He ^(W)put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as ^(X)head over all things to the church,
