English

…and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,

God's power for those who believe in him is the power of his Spirit working in and through his people, because they are connected to the resurrected Christ (see Romans 6:4–14; Colossians 2:12). Paul wanted to experience the power of Christ's resurrection in his own life (Philippians 3:10).
In biblical times, the place of honor was always at a person's right hand (Psalm 110:1; Acts 7:56).

Paul prays that his readers gain the spiritual understanding to fully appreciate God's gifts (1:3–14).
