Ephesians 3:18
That ye may be strong ( ινα εξισχυσητε ). Sub-final clause again with ινα and the first aorist active subjunctive of εξισχυω, a late and rare compound (from εξ, ισχυω ) to have full strength. Here only in N.T.To apprehend ( καταλαβεσθα ). Second aorist middle infinitive of καταλαμβανω, old and common verb, to lay hold of effectively ( κατα- ), here with the mind, to grasp (Ac 25:25).
With all the saints ( συν πασιν τοις αγιοις ). No isolated privilege. Fellowship open to all. Paul gives a rectangular (four dimension) measure of love (breadth πλατος, length μηκος, height υψος, depth βαθος, all common enough words).
