Notes

Ephesians 1:19–20

God's power for those who believe in him is the power of his Spirit working in and through his people, because they are connected to the resurrected Christ (see Romans 6:4–14; Colossians 2:12). Paul wanted to experience the power of Christ's resurrection in his own life (Philippians 3:10).
In biblical times, the place of honor was always at a person's right hand (Psalm 110:1; Acts 7:56).

Ephesians 1:15–23

Paul prays that his readers gain the spiritual understanding to fully appreciate God's gifts (1:3–14).
