Writing to fellow Christians, he said: “I bend my knees to the Father, to the end that he may grant you... to have the Christ dwell through your faith in your hearts with love; that you may be rooted and established on the foundation, in order that you may be thoroughly able to grasp mentally with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness that God gives. ” ​ — Ephesians 3: 14, 16 - 19.
تا مسیح به وساطت ایمان در دلهای شما ساکن شود ؛‏ و در محبّت ریشه کرده و بنیاد نهاده ،‏ استطاعت یابید که با تمامی مقدّسین ادراک کنید که عرض و طول و عمق و بلندی چیست ؛‏ و عارف شوید به محبّت مسیح که فوق از معرفت است تا پر شوید تا تمامی پری خدا .‏ » —‏ اَفَسُسیان ۳ :‏ ۱۴ ،‏ ۱۶ -‏ ۱۹‏ .‏
