First, I have noted in this outline/study a few versions for better
understanding, then I have some Greek Lexicon #’s & Definitions with some
Cross Reverencing
I have NOT posted all of these, but I have posted these few for my own
study purposes here… if you want to dig deeper, I have listed the links and all
Lexicon #’s for you.
I shared just a few versions for better understanding, then a few Greek
Strong’s Lexicon #’s and Definitions that helped these verses come to life for
me personally.

Ephesians 3:20-21
20-21God can do anything,
you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your
wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us,
his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!

For
my purpose here in this study, I will not go further with these Cross
References… (as you can see, I have
listed the other cross references for these verses to allow you to do so if you
wish)
But for me, here, I will continue to
go now to the KJV from Blue Letter Bible and study certain Greek Words from
these verses in Ephesians 3:20-21, first without the Greek #’s for ease of reading
then followed by study with #’s.
I use Blue Letter Bible because of the
KJV & #’s it offers for study… after reading the verses in several
versions, then in context… then chapter, before and after chapters… meditation
on what ever the Holy Spirit leads me to.
