'May' in the Bible

From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

We pray very hard night and day that we may see you again face to face, so that we may equip you with whatever is lacking in your faith.

Now may our God and Father and our Lord Jesus provide a way for us to visit you.

May the Lord greatly increase your love for each other and for all people, just as we love you.

so that you may win the respect of outsiders, and have need of nothing.

But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.

who died for us in order that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being spirit, soul, and body remain blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with you! Amen.
