'May' in the Bible

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ,

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

not of works, that no one may boast;

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things --

till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,

that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

And they, [the ungodly in their spiritual apathy], having become callous and unfeeling, have given themselves over [as prey] to unbridled sensuality, eagerly craving the practice of every kind of impurity [that their desires may demand].

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

I am sending him to you for this very reason, so that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.

May peace and love, with faith, be with the brothers, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah!

May grace be with all who sincerely love the Lord Jesus, the Messiah!
