Paul concludes his prayer by asking God to bless the Ephesian believers. You could express this as either a blessing or a prayer, in whichever way is more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Now to God, the one]
ὑπὲρ πάντα, ποιῆσαι ὑπέρἐκπερισσοῦ ὧν αἰτούμεθα ἢ νοοῦμεν

Alternate translation: [to do much more than all that we ask or think] or [to do things that are much greater than anything that we ask him for or think about]
3:20 all glory to God: Because of the grace God has shown in Jesus Christ, he deserves nothing less.
• The mighty power at work within us is the power of the living God that raised Christ from the dead (see 1:19-20). By that power, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think, because God is at work in the lives of his children (see Rom 8:31-39; Phil 4:13; Col 1:29).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
