prayer for fulfillment of purifying hope in Christ

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer

God, whose Beloved Son entered the world to undo the devil's schemes and give us the opportunity to become God's children and heirs to eternal life: So that we can be like him in his eternal and magnificent kingdom, where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit as one God for all eternity, grant that we may, with this hope, purify ourselves as he is pure. When he returns in power and great glory, may we be made like him.

His Beloved Son came into the world to defeat the devil's plans and give us a chance to become His children and heirs to eternal life: Grant that we may, with this hope, purify ourselves as he is purified, so that we may be like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom, where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit as one God for all eternity. May we become like him when he returns in tremendous grandeur and splendour.
