12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.

19and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
20quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in cælestibus:
20which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
21supra omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc sæculo, sed etiam in futuro.
21far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
