'May' in the Bible

and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.

Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,

him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately;

The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;

yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,

if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
