This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Eph 3:20. Ὑπὲρ πάντα) πάντα is governed by ποιῆσαι, whence ὑπὲρ is put adverbially, as presently after ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ, and ὑπερλίαν, 2Co 11:5; ὑπὲρ may however be construed with πάντα: comp. ch. Eph 1:22, where ὑπὲρ πάντα means, that which is above all: this [His exaltation as Head of the Church] is above all exaltation, that He Himself is the Head of the Church, etc.[54]-ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ, exceedingly abundant) Construe with to do.-ὧν) The Genitive is governed by the comparative, which is contained in περισσοῦ.-ἢ νοοῦμεν, or think) Thought takes a wider range than prayers. A gradation.-κατὰ, according to) Paul appeals to their and his experience.

[54] Beng. would render ch. Eph 1:22, “He hath given Him to be Head over the Church, an elevation which is above every other kind of elevation” (ὑπὲρ πάντα).-ED.
