Ephesians 1:21, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul is praying that the Ephesians would grasp the greatness of God's power, and verse 21 describes where that power placed Christ: raised from the dead and seated at God's right hand, far above every rival. The words rule, authority, power and dominion were ordinary terms for governing powers, and here they likely include both human authorities and the spiritual forces behind them.
