In you

but I know you that you have not the love of God in you.

and through their prayer in your behalf, earnestly longing to see you on account of the grace of God superabounding unto you.

Prove your own selves, if you are in the faith; examine yourselves; whether do you not know yourselves, that Christ Jesus is in you? unless indeed you are reprobates.

Think the same thing among yourselves, which is also in Christ Jesus:

Let the word of God dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another, in all wisdom, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with grace making melody in your hearts to God;

in order that the fellowship of your faith may be efficient in the perfect knowledge of every good thing which is in you toward Christ.

And abound

So, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

because in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

And I pray this, that your divine love may yet more and more abound in perfect knowledge and all understanding;

having been rooted and grounded in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

Let the word of God dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another, in all wisdom, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with grace making melody in your hearts to God;

and the Lord fill you and cause you to superabound in divine love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also do towards you;

Finally therefore, brethren, we pray you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how it behooves you to walk about and to please God, as you do indeed walk about, in order that you may abound more and more.

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as it is worthy, because your faith increases, and the divine love of each one of you all towards one another abounds more and more;

They

If you may abide in me, and my words may abide in you, ask whatsoever you may wish, and it shall be done unto you.

For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we have our right minds, it is for you.

Barren

And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the forum:

And his Lord responding said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, didst thou know that I gather where I have not sown, and reap where I have not strewn?

not slothful in business; boiling over in spirit; serving the Lord;

and at the same time they learn to be idle, going about houses; and not only idle, but also loquacious even busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do inherit the promises.

In

Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
