Finally, may the all-seeing God and Master of spirits and Lord of all flesh, who chose the Lord Jesus Christ and us through him to be his own special people, grant to every soul that has called upon his magnificent and holy name faith, fear, peace, patience and long-suffering, self-control, purity, and sobriety, so that they may be well pleasing to his name, through our high priest and guardian Jesus Christ, through whom be glory and majesty, might and honor to him, both now and forever and ever. Amen.
