Hi Paul, I just realized something. "eyes of your hearts" works in Greek.
Aristotle believed that the heart was the seat of emotions, sensations, thoughts, imaginations, and intellectual functions.
The belief of heart over brain existed in Greece and Rome in earlier times. (Eventually they discovered about the brain though) That makes a possibility that if Ephesians was written in Greek, the Greeks could have understood the idiom that apostle Paul wrote.

I didn't have any malicious intent, but I want to find out from you if my doubt is correct here.
