2 Thessalonians 3:5

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God ¹  and the endurance of Christ. ² 

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

May the Lord bring you into an ever deeper understanding of the love of God and the endurance that comes from Christ.

May the Master take you by the hand and lead you along the path of God's love and Christ's endurance.

And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God ¹  and the endurance of Christ. ² 

¹ tn The genitive in the phrase τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ (thn agaphn tou qeou, “the love of God”) could be translated as either a subjective genitive (“God’s love”) or an objective genitive (“your love for God”). Either is grammatically possible. This is possibly an instance of a plenary genitive (see ExSyn 119-21; M. Zerwick, Biblical Greek, §§36-39). If so, the emphasis would be on believers being directed toward the love God gives which in turn produces increased love in them for him.

² tn The genitive in the phrase τὴν ὑπομονὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ (thn Jupomonhn tou Cristou, “the endurance of Christ”) could be translated as either a subjective genitive (“Christ’s endurance”) or an objective genitive (“endurance for Christ”). Either is grammatically possible. This is possibly an instance of a plenary genitive (see ExSyn 119-21; M. Zerwick, Biblical Greek, §§36-39). If so, the emphasis would be on believers being directed toward the endurance Christ showed which in turn produces endurance in them for him.
