This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And to know (gnōnai te). Second aorist active infinitive with exischusēte.
Which passeth knowledge (tēn huperballousan tēs gnōseōs). Ablative case gnōseōs after huperballousan (from huperballō). All the same Paul dares to scale this peak.
That ye may be filled with all the fulness of God (hina plērōthēte eis pān to plērōma tou theou). Final clause again (third use of hina in the sentence) with first aorist passive subjunctive of plēroō and the use of eis after it. One hesitates to comment on this sublime climax in Paul’s prayer, the ultimate goal for followers of Christ in harmony with the injunction in Mat 5:48 to be perfect (teleioi) as our heavenly Father is perfect. There is nothing that any one can add to these words. One can turn to Rom 8:29 again for our final likeness to God in Christ.
