I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

But to you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in His wings: and you shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.

but speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ;

that you should walk worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit and increasing in the full knowledge of God;

We are obligated to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, [and] rightfully so, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all increases towards one another,

as newborn babes, desire the genuine milk of the word, that by it you may grow,

As His divine power has granted to us all things [pertaining] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

For if these things belong to you and are increasing, it makes you neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For if having escaped from the corruptions of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, yet by these, having become entangled they are defeated, the latter end has become worse for them than the first.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

More than that I also consider all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have sustained the loss of all things, and I consider them to be rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

that you should walk worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit and increasing in the full knowledge of God;

and have put on the new man who is renewed in full knowledge according to the image of Him who created it,

so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

But may the God of all grace, the [One] having called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little [while], may He Himself make you complete--He will establish, strengthen, [and] firmly ground [you].

To Him be the glory and the power, forever and ever. Amen.

To the only wise God our Savior, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

and He made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; because You were slain, and You redeemed us to God by Your blood, out of every tribe and language and people and nation;

Then I looked, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and a thousand thousands,

And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power to Him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever. Amen!"

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one]. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
