Now for this very reason also, applying
all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and
in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge,
self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and
in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness,
brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither
useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that
He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened
with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may
dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and
grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what
is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love
of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all
the fullness of God.

day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you
and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of
His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so
that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please
Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and
increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all
power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining
of all steadfastness and patience.

as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed
into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the
Lord, the Spirit.

like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until
the day of Christ Jesus.

and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in
order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ.
Philippians 1:6, 9, 10
As a result, we are no longer to be children,
tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine,
by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking
the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is
the head, even Christ.
Ephesians 4:14-15
