“Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;”
May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, so as to have great endurance and patience with joy — the prayer transitions to petition: 'strengthened with all power' (dynamoō en pase dynamei) is empowered by divine power. 'According to his glorious might' (kata to kratos tēs doxēs autou) grounds strength in God's mighty glory. 'Endurance and patience with joy' (hypomenē makrothymia meta charas) combines perseverance-virtues with joy. The triad (strength, endurance-patience, joy) is the armoring for Christian life.
