3: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4: I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5: That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6: Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9: God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
