16 I pray[a] that he would give you, according to his glorious riches, strength in your inner being and power through his Spirit, 17 and that the Messiah[b] would make his home in your hearts through faith. Then, having been rooted and grounded in love, 18 you will be able to understand, along with all the saints, what is wide, long, high, and deep— 19 that is, you will know the love of the Messiah[c]— which transcends knowledge, and will be filled with all the fullness of God.
