In Ephesians 3:18, ἐξισχύσητε is a second-person plural aorist active subjunctive in the clause concerning grasping “what the width and length and height and depth are.” The APB renders the clause, “so that you may have power together with all the holy ones to grasp what the width and length and height and depth are.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ephesians 3:18, the APB presents the clause as “so that you may have power,” followed by the purpose of grasping the stated dimensions. Its precise English correspondence to the Greek form cannot be isolated beyond that clause.
