Ephesians 1:16-23
New King James Version
16 (A)do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that (B)the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, (C)may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 (D)the eyes of your [a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is (E)the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, (F)according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when (G)He raised Him from the dead and (H)seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 (I)far above all (J)principality[b] and [c]power and [d]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And (K)He put all things under His feet, and gave Him (L)to be head over all things to the church, 23 (M)which is His body, (N)the fullness of Him (O)who fills all in all.

16 (A)do not cease giving thanks for you, (B)while making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the (C)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, (D)the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of (E)wisdom and of (F)revelation in the [a]knowledge of Him. 18 I pray that (G)the eyes of your heart [b]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the (H)hope of His (I)calling, what are (J)the riches of the glory of (K)His inheritance in (L)the [c]saints, 19 and what is the [d]boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. (M)These are in accordance with the working of the (N)strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He (O)raised Him from the dead and (P)seated Him at His right hand in (Q)the heavenly places, 21 far above (R)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every (S)name that is named, not only in (T)this age but also in the one to come. 22 And He (U)put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him (V)head over all things to the church, 23 which is His (W)body, the (X)fullness of Him who (Y)fills (Z)all in all.

King James Version
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
