Eph 3:4

Eph 3:5

Eph 3:5which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Eph 3:6

Eph 3:12

Eph 3:12in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him.

Eph 3:15

Eph 3:15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

Eph 3:16

Eph 3:16that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,

Eph 3:19

Eph 3:19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.
