14. For this cause —Resuming the thread of Ephesians 3:1 , "For this cause." Because ye have such a standing in God's Church [ALFORD]. bow my knees —the proper attitude in humble prayer. Posture affects the mind, and is not therefore unimportant. See Paul's practice ( Ephesians 3:1- : ); and that of the Lord Himself on earth ( Ephesians 3:1- : ). unto the Father —The oldest manuscripts omit "of our Lord Jesus Christ." But Vulgate and some very old authorities retain them: Ephesians 3:1- : , "From whom," in either case, refers to "the Father" ( Patera ), as "family" ( patria, akin in sound and etymology) plainly refers to Him. Still the foundation of all sonship is in Jesus Christ. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
