And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; |
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, |
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, |
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, |
And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depths of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment]. |
And this is the constant purport of my definite petitions, namely, that your love [divine and self-sacrificial in its nature as ministered to you by the Holy Spirit] yet more and more might overflow, but at the same time be kept within the guiding limitations of an accurate knowledge [of God’s word] gained by experience, and those [guiding limitations] of every kind of sensitive moral and ethical tact, |
My prayer for you is that you may have still more love – a love that is full of knowledge and every wise insight. |
And it is my prayer that your love may overflow still more and more, directed by fuller knowledge and keener insight, |
