'May' in the Bible

May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.

Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.

So that you may keep in mind the words of the holy prophets in the past, and the law of the Lord and Saviour which was given to you by his Apostles.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.

For this reason, my loved ones, as you are looking for these things, take great care that when he comes you may be in peace before him, free from sin and every evil thing.

But be increased in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May he have glory now and for ever. So be it.
