For I can testify that they are zealous for God,<n id="1" /> but their zeal is not in line with the truth.<n id="2" />

since he wants<n id="1" /> all people<n id="2" /> to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Such women are always seeking instruction,<n id="1" /> yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

For <i>no one is declared righteous before himi><n id="1" /> by the works of the law,<n id="2" /> for through the law comes<n id="3" /> the knowledge of sin.

And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insight

and have been clothed with the new man<n id="1" /> that is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one who created it.

correcting<n id="1" /> opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance and then knowledge of the truth<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">From Paul,<n id="1" /> a slave<n id="2" /> of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith<n id="3" /> of God&#8217;s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,

I pray<n id="1" /> that the faith you share with us may deepen your understanding of every blessing<n id="2" /> that belongs to you<n id="3" /> in Christ.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,<n id="1" />

May grace and peace be lavished on you<n id="1" /> as you grow<n id="2" /> in the rich knowledge<n id="3" /> of God and of Jesus our Lord!<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God,<n id="1" /> God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.<n id="2" />

I pray that<n id="1" /> the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,<n id="2" /> may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation<n id="3" /> in your growing knowledge of him,<n id="4" />

so that you may live<n id="1" /> worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects<n id="2" /> &#8211; bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God,

My goal is that<n id="1" /> their hearts, having been knit together<n id="2" /> in love, may be encouraged, and that<n id="3" /> they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ,<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">I can pray this because his divine power<n id="1" /> has bestowed on us everything necessary<n id="2" /> for life and godliness through the rich knowledge<n id="3" /> of the one who called<n id="4" /> us by<n id="5" /> his own glory and excellence.

For if<n id="1" /> these things are really yours<n id="2" /> and are continually increasing,<n id="3" /> they will keep you from becoming<n id="4" /> ineffective and unproductive in your pursuit of<n id="5" /> knowing our Lord Jesus Christ more intimately.<n id="6" />

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God &#8211; a mature person, attaining to<n id="1" /> the measure of Christ&#8217;s full stature.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you,<n id="1" /> have not ceased praying for you and asking God<n id="2" /> to fill<n id="3" /> you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

For if after they have escaped the filthy things<n id="1" /> of the world through the rich knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,<n id="2" /> they<n id="3" /> again get entangled in them and succumb to them,<n id="4" /> their last state has become worse for them than their first.
