Ephesians 3:14
... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
BSB
ASV
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,
KJV
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For this cause I bow my knees - That you may not faint, but persevere, I frequently pray to God, who is our God and the Father of our Lord Jesus. Some very ancient and excellent MSS. and versions omit the words του Κυριου ἡμων Ιησου Χριστου, of our Lord Jesus Christ. And in them the passage reads: I bow my knees unto the Father. The apostle prays to God the Father, that they may not faint; and he bows his knees in this praying.
For this cause--Resuming the thread of Eph 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.
