“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:”
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better — the petition requests the pneuma sophias kai apokalypseōs ('spirit of wisdom and revelation'), not a second gift of the Spirit (whom they possess) but the Spirit's empowering for gnōsis ('knowledge,' experiential knowing) of God, the pathē ('opening,' disclosure) of divine mystery.
