'May' in the Bible

that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.

For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;

and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, and things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;

But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:

Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.

Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the lesson of not letting your thoughts go above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for such a one against another.

to deliver him, I say, being such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed;

Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

Defraud not one another, unless, it may be, by consent for a time, that ye may devote yourselves to prayer, and again be together, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.

There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what is seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction.

Wherefore if meat be a fall-trap to my brother, I will eat no flesh for ever, that I may not be a fall-trap to my brother.

If others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them.

Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.

But every one that contends for a prize is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

Even as I also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

But being judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual manifestations, but rather that ye may prophesy.

Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound.

Thus ye also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.

Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.

but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:

On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go.

Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I.

Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
