They Who Kneel Before God Can Stand Before Anyone.

We now come to the second part of this chapter, which contains Paul's devout and affectionate prayer to God for his beloved Ephesians.--For this cause. This may be referred either to the immediately Ephesians 3:13, That you faint not..., or, rather, the apostle is here resuming what he began at the Ephesians 3:1, from which he digressed in those which are interposed. Observe,

To whom he prays--to God, as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of which see Ephesians 1:3.

His outward posture in prayer, which was humble and reverent: I bow my knees. Note, When we draw nigh to God, we should reverence him in our hearts, and express our reverence in the most suitable and becoming behaviour and gesture. - Matthew Henry
