In Christ, you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, you believed in him and were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's holy people,
16 Aole au e hooki i ka hoomaikai ana aku no oukou, e hoohiki ana ia oukou ma ka'u pule;
I have not stopped thanking God for you as I mention you in my prayers.

In my prayers I ask that you may know the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great strength.
20 Ana i hana iho ai iloko o Kristo i ka hoala'ua ia ia mai ka make mai, a hoonoho iho la ia ia ma kona lima akau i kahi lani,
This is the same power that God worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
21 Maluna ae o na alii a pau, o na mea ikaika, o na mea mana, na haku, a me na inoa a pau i kapaia, aole ma keia ao wale no, ma kela ao e hiki mai ana kekahi. (aiōn g165)
He seated Christ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named. Christ will rule, not only in this age, but also in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
