Which that he may, I shall not cease to pray, that2 my weak service may be accepted of the3 Saints, and that their love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all sense, that they may approve things that are excellent; that they 4may be sincere, and without offence till the day of Christ, Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.
