11 Now may our God and Father(A) himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other(B) and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless(C) and holy in the presence of our God and Father(D) when our Lord Jesus comes(E) with all his holy ones.(F)

Living to Please God

As for other matters, brothers and sisters,(G) we instructed you how to live(H) in order to please God,(I) as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
