 Observe too here, that the Apostle does not now ask that God should act by a power, as it is often expressed, which works for us, but by a power that works in us. (Ephesians 3 by J.N. Darby)
 It is the desire that the saints should know God's present power to an indefinite extent working in them in spiritual enjoyment, through the Holy Ghost's power, giving us to have Christ the definite and constant object of the heart. (Ephesians 3 by W. Kelly)
 There is a great difference between what we do ask and think, and what we can ask and think. There is no limit to what we may ask. God is above anything that we can ask of Him, and He loves to hear us asking more and more. He would exercise us in asking more abundantly. (Remarks on Ephesians 3:1-13 by W. Kelly)
