Ephesians 3:20-21
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
exceedingly abundantly (v.20) — The compound word is a superlative of superlatives in force. It speaks of the ability of God to do something, that ability having more than enough potential power, this power exhaustless, and then some on top of that. Thus, Paul says that God is able to do super abundantly above and beyond what we ask or think, and then some on top of that. — Wuest, page 91
ask (v.20) = to ask in one’s own interest
think (v.20) = consider
the power (v.20) — dunamis — the Holy Spirit
works (v.20) = puts forth energy
to Him (v.21) — the Father
glory (v.21) — should be “the” glory — the glory due to God
by Christ Jesus (v.21) — should be “in” Christ Jesus
to all generations, forever and ever (v.21) = unto all the generations of the ages of the ages — an expression of the magnitude of eternity
