Eph 1:17 Here the prayer is addressed to God for spiritual illumination; Here the prayer is addressed to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory. The expression, the Father of glory, may mean that God is either:
1. the Source or Originator of all glory,
2. the One to whom all glory belongs, or
3. the Father of the Lord Jesus, who is the manifestation of God’s glory.
Eph 3:14–21. here it is for spiritual strength. here to the Father.
But in every case Paul’s prayers were unceasing, specific, and appropriate to the current needs of the people.

ALIENATE
apallotrioo (ἀπαλλοτριόω, 526) consists of apo, “from,” and the above;
it signifies “to be rendered an alien, to be alienated.”
In Eph. 2:12 the RV corrects to the verbal form “alienated,” for the noun “aliens”;
elsewhere in Eph. 4:18 and Col. 1:21;
the condition of the unbeliever is presented in a threefold state of “alienation,”
(a) from the commonwealth of Israel,
(b) from the life of God,
(c) from God Himself.¶
The word is used of Israelites in the Sept. of Ezek. 14:5 (“estranged”)
and of the wicked in general, Ps. 58:3.

After – BUT NOW! In Christ Jesus
