Thanksgiving

⁴ I always thank^(J) my God for you because of God’s grace given to you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ that by Him you were enriched^(K) in everything—in all speech and all knowledge.^{(L) 6} In this way, the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you,^{(M) 7} so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait^(N) for the revelation^(O) of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ He will also strengthen you to the end,^(P) so that you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.^{(Q) 9} God is faithful;^(R) you were called by Him^(S) into fellowship with His Son,^(T) Jesus Christ our Lord.
