A | 1: 19. The exceeding great of His power.

Note it is "exceeding"; it "worketh in us" and is "to usward".

It leads on to "the fullness of Him that filleth all in all".

B | 1: 21. Far above all principality and power and might.

A | 3: 7. The effectual working of His power.

Note "less than the least" and it "worked" in Paul.

It leads on to "all the fullness of God".

B | 3: 16. Strengthened with might by His Spirit.

A | 3: 20. The power that worketh in us.

Note "exceeding" abundance of the answer.

It "worketh in us" and flows from the references to "fullness".

The witness of the Spirit, the ministry of Paul, the answer to prayer, all alike are the

outcome of the exceeding greatness of His power to usward that believe. The word

"believe" occurs in Ephesians only in the two corresponding passages, Eph. 1: 13 where

"after ye believed" comes "the seal" and "the earnest" of the Spirit, and Eph. 1: 19, the

passage before us. Faith however occurs eight times as follows: Ephesians 1: 15; 2: 8;

3: 12, 17; 4: 5, 13; 6: 16, 23.

The remainder of verse nineteen "according to the working of His mighty power"

belongs to the next section of the epistle, and must be considered in relation to the

whole division: Eph. 1: 19 - 2: 7. This we must consider in our next article.
