11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you.
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
