John 17:2

Power over all; for the salvation of his people. Mt 28:18; Joh 5:21; 6:37,40; 10:15,16.

1 Corinthians 8:6

Of whom; as the source.

In him; rather, as the margin, unto or for him; created to promote his glory.

By whom; by whose agency. Enlightened Christians hold with unshaken confidence to the unity of God, while they acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Creator, Redeemer, and rightful Proprietor, and render to him and to the Father the homage of their hearts.

Ephesians 1:20-23

Which he wrought in Christ; as our head. God manifests in the redemption of Christ's members the same divine power which he exercised in Christ their head. The greatness of power and grace of God manifested when he leads men to believe on Christ, and raises them from spiritual death to spiritual life, should fill them with adoring gratitude, and bind them for ever in cheerful and hearty obedience to his will. Principality, and power--every name that is named; these terms describe every order of intelligent beings in heaven and on earth; every creature that bears a name. Head over all things; all things in the creation.

To the church; for its good. Which is his body; compare Joh 15:1-7.

The fulness; Christ's body the church is called his fulness, as being throughout filled with his gifts and graces.

That filleth all in all; or who filleth all things with all things. For Christ is the creator of all things, and he fills them with whatever powers and privileges they possess.
