To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;
Paul is praying that God, by His power, will help the readers to complete every high resolve or desire and every work of faith. At every turn Paul shows his realization of man’s dependence upon God in bringing to completion his good resolutions and the work of faith with power: the word "work" (ergon) means "an act, deed, thing done" (Thayer 248-1-2041). The word "power" (dunamis) means "strength, ability, power; universally inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth" (Thayer 159-1-1411).
