'May' in the Bible

And my prayer is that you may be increased more and more in knowledge and experience;

So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;

So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.

Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;

If in any way I may have the reward of life from the dead.

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

Not that I am looking for an offering, but for fruit which may be put to your credit.
