'May' in the Bible

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

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

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God [so that His glory may be both revealed and recognized].

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately;

I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which would be on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God through faith,

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

May glory be given to God our Father forever and ever. Amen.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with your spirit! Amen.
