“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,”
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people — the ophthalmous tēs kardias ('eyes of the heart') is the interior faculty of spiritual perception; Paul prays for photismos ('illumination') enabling the community to grasp tris meta ('three things'): the hope of calling, the riches of glory in the inheritance, and the power available to believers.
