'May' in the Bible

May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.

Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit.

But Scripture has shown that all mankind are the prisoners of sin, in order that the promised blessing, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who believe.

So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared to be free from guilt.

These men pay court to you, but not with honourable motives. They want to exclude you, so that you may pay court to them.

For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man--be he who he may--who is troubling you, will have to bear the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him.

For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in *your* bodies.

And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle--may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true Israel of God.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, brethren. Amen.
