Prayer For Spiritual Maturity

⁹ And what I pray for is this--that your love may grow yet stronger and stronger, with increasing knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ Until you are able to appreciate all moral distinctions. And I pray, too, that you may be kept pure and blameless against the Day of Christ, ¹¹ Bearing a rich harvest of that righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
