UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἵνα

in_order_that

The connecting phrase so that introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that Christ would live in their hearts. The result is that the Ephesian believers would fully know the love of God and be filled with God’s fullness. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.

καταλαβέσθαι

/to/_grasp

This is the third item for which Paul bends his knees and prays; the first is that God will grant that they be strengthened (Ephesians 3:16) and the second is that Christ may live in their hearts through faith (Ephesians 3:17).

πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις

all the holy_‹ones›

Alternate translation: “all the believers in Christ”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ πλάτος, καὶ μῆκος, καὶ ὕψος, καὶ βάθος

the breadth and length and height and depth

In this metaphor Paul pictures something that is not physical or measurable as something that is physical but stretches out in all directions and, thus, is very large. This could refer to: (1) the intensity of Christ’s love for us. Alternate translation: “how very much Christ loves us” (2) the greatness of God’s wisdom. Alternate translation: “how very wise God is”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ πλάτος, καὶ μῆκος, καὶ ὕψος, καὶ βάθος

the breadth and length and height and depth

It may be necessary to state explicitly what these words refer to. If so, you could combine this with the phrase from the next verse and say: “the width and length and height and depth of, and truly know the love of Christ” or “the width and length and height and depth of the love of Christ, and truly know it”
