Translation note
In Greek a single article covers “our God” and “Lord.” It is translated here as two persons because “Lord Jesus the Messiah” goes without an article, as a title, throughout the letter (1:1, 1:2; 3:12); it can also be understood as “of our God and Lord, Jesus the Messiah.”
The context
11To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may consider you worthy of his calling and fulfill with power every desire for goodness and work of faith,
