Ephesians 3:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ So I ·ask you not to become [or pray that you would not be] discouraged because of the ·sufferings [trials] I am having for you. My ·sufferings [trials; affliction] are ·for your glory [to bring you honor/eternal glory].

The Love of Christ

¹⁴ So [^CPaul begins again the prayer he started in v. 1] I ·bow in prayer [kneel] before the Father ¹⁵ from whom ·every [or the whole] ·family [^Ca play on words, since the words “father” and “family” are related] in heaven and on earth gets its true name.
