1 Now may GOD, the all-seeing, and the master of spirits, and the Lord of all flesh, who chose out the [master] Jesus Christ, and us through him for “a peculiar people,” give unto every soul that is called after His glorious and holy name, faith, fear, peace, patience and long-suffering, self-control, purity, sobriety, that they may be well-pleasing to His name [following] our high priest and guardian Jesus Christ; [to Him alone be] glory and majesty, might and honour, both now and to all eternity. Amen.
