UTN uW Translation Notes:

Connecting Statement:

Paul continues the prayer he began in Ephesians 3:14.

(Occurrence 0) κατοικῆσαι τὸν Χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ, ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι

/to/_dwell_in the Messiah through ¬the faith in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all in love /having_been/_rooted and /having_been/_established

This is the second item for which Paul prays that God will “grant” the Ephesians “according to the riches of his glory.” The first is that they would “be strengthened” (Ephesians 3:16).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κατοικῆσαι τὸν Χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν

/to/_dwell_in the Messiah through ¬the faith in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

Here, hearts represent a person’s inner being, and through expresses the means by which Christ lives within the believer. Christ lives in the hearts of believers because God graciously allows them to have faith. Alternate translation: [that Christ may live within you because you trust in him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν ἀγάπῃ, ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι

in in love /having_been/_rooted and /having_been/_established

Paul speaks of their faith as if it were a tree that has deep roots or a house built on a solid foundation. Alternate translation: [you will be like a firmly rooted tree and a building built on stone]
