Thanksgiving

⁴ I always thank my God for you^(A) because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. ⁵ For in him you have been enriched^(B) in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge^(C)— ⁶ God thus confirming our testimony^(D) about Christ among you. ⁷ Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift^(E) as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.^{(F) 8} He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless^(G) on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.^{(H) 9} God is faithful,^(I) who has called you^(J) into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.^(K)

²³ May God himself, the God of peace,^(A) sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul^(B) and body be kept blameless^(C) at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.^{(D) 24} The one who calls^(E) you is faithful,^(F) and he will do it.^(G)
