Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

…so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

…so that no one may boast in His presence.

We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.

Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.

…hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.

I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.

…as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.

For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.

And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

…as you have already understood us in part, that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow, to the glory of God.

For while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.

Now finish the work, so that you may complete it with the same eager desire, according to your means.

It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.

It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.

I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.

I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.

I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but crafty as I am, I caught you by trickery.

For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

…know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.

Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.

I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

…that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.

I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,

…of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.

…“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

…“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,

…for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.

Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

…so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

…so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

…so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

…as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing.

Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.

…so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

…so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

…being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully

And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.

We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

…that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,

…that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

…as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

…as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in the full will of God.

…hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.

Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith.

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,

…so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.

…in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope,

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.
