Philippians 1:9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ; 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. (World English Bible, public domain)
A most appropriate prayer for Christians to pray for other believers!
Thanks for reading. Pray for me. This is part of a series on prayers in the Bible. The previous post is here.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Love this part too .. "abound yet more and more in knowledge"
Seems the more I study and learn about Christ the more I realize the his statement of "the way, the truth, the life."
I'm not quite sure what you mean -- I think there's a word, or more, that didn't get into your comment -- but yes, we should "abound yet more and more in knowledge."
Thanks!
