For indeed, what had been glorious now has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it.

And in their prayers on your behalf they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you.

and what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, as displayed in the exercise of his immense strength.

to demonstrate in the coming ages the surpassing wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

and thus to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
