'May' in the Bible

This is a plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power,

so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you;

and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!
