3 May grace come to you, may peace abide with you from God, who is the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Because of the grace that has come to you I feel incessant gratitude to God.
5 You have found the riches of the Christ; the word and the knowledge of God are spoken and fulfilled in your midst;
6 the witness of the Christ is there; it is unassailable evidence;
7 and the full measure of His gifts is counted in you, nothing is wanting for your completion, whilst you wait for that unveiling and revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Yes, there will be no faltering, no failure in his support of you, till you are made perfect, in the “end,” “the day” of our Lord Jesus Christ, the day of perfect revelation.
9 For God, through whom this calling, this share in His son Jesus Christ our Lord has come to you, is faithful in all His ways.
