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
