"And this is my
prayer: that your
love may abound
more and more in
knowledge and
depth of insight,
so that you
may be able
to discern what
is best and may
be pure and
blameless until
the day of Christ,
filled with fruit of
righteousness
that comes through
Jesus Christ—
to the glory
and praise of God..."

Philippians 1:9-11
(ESV)
