15 Because of that, and because I heard about your faith in the master Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) and your acceptance of all the pure believers, 16 I don’t stop giving thanks for all of you, mentioning you in my prayers, 17 asking the God of our master Yeshua the messiah to give you spiritual wisdom and to reveal the knowledge about him. 18 I ask that your inner thoughts will be enlightened so that you’ll all know the expectation of what he’s calling you to—the riches of the greatness of his inheritance for the believers 19 and the exceeding greatness of his power to help us who believe, according to the working of the power of his strength. 20 He worked this power in the messiah when he brought him back to life and seated him in the place of honour in heavenly places[ref]—21 giving him authority over every law and government, and over every powerful group and organisation, and over every earthly title, not only in the present age but also in the age to come. 22 Everything in existence will be under his authority[ref] and God set him in charge of all matters concerning the assembly, 23 which is his body—the completeness of the messiah who completes everything.
