² Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

² But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

³ And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
