This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

But since you excel in everything— in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you— see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,

Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

He told them another parable:“ The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”He told them still another parable:“ The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.

Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.
