I pray that he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit

The passive construct in Ephesians 3:16 that is translated in English with “I pray that he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit” or similar is translated in Mokole as “I ask him to let his Spirit give you power in your liver.” Mokole grammar doesn’t know a passive voice and the translation has to therefore render anything that is passive in the Hebrew or Greek text with a grammatical subject.
