'May' in the Bible

so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

(I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)

but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?"

So they said to him, "Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.

So Jesus' brothers advised him, "Leave here and go to Judea so your disciples may see your miracles that you are performing.

When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, "Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her."

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him.

The man replied, "And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"

Jesus said,] "For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may gain their sight, and the ones who see may become blind."

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

This is why the Father loves me -- because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.

But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may come to know and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me."

When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

So Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, so that we may die with him."

I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me."

Jesus replied, "The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he went away and hid himself from them.

I am telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I am he.

And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too.

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here."

I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it, so that your joy may be complete.

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage -- I have conquered the world."

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you --

just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him.

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.

But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

And I set myself apart on their behalf, so that they too may be truly set apart.

The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one --

I in them and you in me -- that they may be completely one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.

I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them."

Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him."

And the person who saw it has testified (and his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth), so that you also may believe.

But these are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
