  ⁹For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,

  ¹⁰night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

  ¹¹Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

  ¹²May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

  ¹³to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

  ⁴⁵He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

  ⁴⁶saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”

  ⁴⁷He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

  ⁴⁸They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
