Thanksgiving

I thank my God at all times for you because of the grace
(the favor and spiritual blessing) of God
which was bestowed on you in Christ Jesus,

[So] that in Him in every respect you were enriched,
in full power and readiness of speech [to speak of your faith]
and complete knowledge and illumination [to give you full insight into its meaning].

In this way [our] witnessing concerning Christ (the Messiah) was so confirmed
and established and made sure in you

That you are not [consciously] falling behind
or lacking in any special spiritual endowment or Christian grace
[the reception of which is due to the power of divine grace
operating in your souls by the Holy Spirit],
while you wait and watch [constantly living in hope]
for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and [His] being made visible to all.

And He will establish you to the end
[keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication;
He will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment so that you will be]
guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise,
and He can be depended on);
by Him you were called into companionship
and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
