8. For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9. And this is my prayer: that your love may increase ever more and more in knowledge and every kind of perception,
10. to discern what is of value, so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
11. filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God.
