'May' in the Bible

To: Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. May grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Messiah Jesus, our Lord, be yours!

As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach different doctrine

and we have known that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;

Which may be seen in the good news of the glory of the great God, which was given into my care.

It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

Timothy, my son, I am giving you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies previously made about you, so that by them you may strongly engage in battle,

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil;

and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

But they must first be tested. Then, if they prove to be blameless, they may become ministers.

in case I am delayed, so that you may know how to behave in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

A widow may be put on the widows' list if she is at least sixty years old and has been the wife of one husband.

and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,

So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.

All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their own masters as deserving of the highest respect, so that the name of God and our teaching may not be discredited.

Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Although some claim to have it, they have abandoned the faith. May grace be with all of you!
