SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:15–23: Paul prayed for the believers at Ephesus

Paul started the next section by thanking God for the faith and love of the Christians in Ephesus. Then he prayed that they might know God better. Specifically, he prayed that they might know the good things that they can hope for in the future, the blessings that God has promised to his people and the greatness of God’s power. This is the power that raised Jesus from death and put him in the place of highest honor in heaven.

In Greek this whole section is one very long sentence. You will probably need to break it into several shorter sentences in your translation.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

Paul’s prayer (GNT, CEV, NCV)

Paul’s prayer for spiritual wisdom (NLT)

Thanksgiving and prayer (NIV)

1:19a

and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe.

the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe: This is the third thing that Paul prayed that the Ephesians would know.

the surpassing greatness of His power: The phrase surpassing greatness means that God’s power is so strong that no other power can compare with it. His power is greater than all other power.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

incredible greatness of God’s power (NLT)

unlimited greatness of his power (GW)

great and mighty power that God has (CEV)

to us: A literal English translation of the Greek is “toward us.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

power which helps us

power which he uses on our behalf

1:19b

These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,

These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength: Paul means that the power that God uses to help us is the same power that God used to raise Christ from death and to take him up to heaven (1:20a–b).

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

This is the same mighty power (NLT)

This power working in us is the same as the mighty strength (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

τὸ ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί τί τό ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ εἰς ἡμάς τούς πιστεύοντας κατά τήν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ)

Alternate translation: [God’s power, which is far beyond all other power]

εἰς ἡμᾶς, τοὺς πιστεύοντας

toward (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί τί τό ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ εἰς ἡμάς τούς πιστεύοντας κατά τήν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ)

Alternate translation: [for us who believe]

τὴν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί τί τό ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ εἰς ἡμάς τούς πιστεύοντας κατά τήν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ)

Alternate translation: [his great power that is at work for us]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_the power ˱of˲_the strength ˱of˲_him

The words force and strength have very similar meanings and may be combined. Alternate translation: [of his great strength]
