... and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
That power

is the same as the mighty strength

he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead

in the heavenly realms

far above all rule and authority, power and dominion
