# Connecting Statement:
Paul continues the prayer he began in [Ephesians 3:14](../03/14.md).
# I pray that Christ may live in your hearts through faith and that you may be rooted and founded in his love
This is the second item which Paul prays that God will "grant" the Ephesians "according to the riches of his glory." The first is that they would "be strengthened" ([Ephesians 3:16](../03/16.md)).
# that Christ may live in your hearts through faith
Here "heart" represents a person's inner being, and "through" expresses the means by which Christ lives within the believer. Christ lives in the hearts of believers because God graciously allows them to have faith. Alternate translation: "that Christ may live within you because you trust in him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"that Christ may live within you because you trust in him"
# you may be rooted and founded in his love
# that you may be rooted and founded in his love
Paul speaks of their faith as if it were a tree that has deep roots or a house built on a solid foundation. Alternate translation: "that you will be like a firmly rooted tree and a building built on stone because of his love" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"that you will be like a firmly rooted tree and a building built on stone because of his love" or "that you will be steady and firm in love"
