and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength;
20 quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in cælestibus:
which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places,
21 supra omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc sæculo, sed etiam in futuro. (aiōn g165)
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)

and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church;
23 quæ est corpus ipsius, et plenitudo ejus, qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur.
