4I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus, 5that you were enriched in him in every way, in all speech and all knowledge. In this way, the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you, 7so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
