Ephesians 3:20
Bible verse for Monday, January 11, 2027.
Ephesians 3:20
“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,”
— Bible (KJV) · Read Ephesians in context
The scene behind the verse
Rome, ~62 AD. Paul concludes his prayer for the Ephesians with explosive worship, knowing God's power firsthand from shipwrecks, prison breaks, and resurrections.
Original language
hyperekperissou (ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ) — super-abundantly beyond measure, a triple-compound word Paul likely invented
Historical context
Paul had personally witnessed God raise Eutychus from the dead after falling three stories
What most readers miss
Paul stacks FOUR words meaning 'beyond' — able, exceedingly, abundantly, above — like verbal fireworks
Common misconception
People treat this like a prosperity promise for material blessings, but Paul wrote it in chains — God's 'exceeding abundantly' often looks different than our dreams.
How this verse has been applied
Write down your impossible situation. Cross out 'impossible' and write 'exceeding abundantly above what I can think.'
