Now you have every spiritual gift you need 

as you eagerly wait for the return 

of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

He will keep you strong to the end 

so that you will be free from all blame 

on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 

God will do this, 

for he is faithful to do what he says, 

and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, 

Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:7-9
