for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus, that
in him you were enriched in every way, with all discourse and all knowledge, as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you, so that you are not lacking in any
spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you firm to the end,
