“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;”
King James Version (KJV)
1:9 And this I pray, that your love - Which they had already shown. May abound yet more and more - The fire which burned in the apostle never says, It is enough. In knowledge and in all spiritual sense - Which is the ground of all spiritual knowledge. We must be inwardly sensible of divine peace, joy, love; otherwise, we cannot know what they are.
Php 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more. Not that their love for him should abound more, but in knowledge and [in] all judgment. With the increase of their love there might be fuller knowledge and wiser judgment.
And this I pray, that your loue may abound yet more & more in knowledge, and in all iudgment.
