for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. - Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
- Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake. - Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh. - Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf.

If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. Since you have been precious and honored in my sight,
and I have loved you,
therefore I will give people in your place,
and nations instead of your life.Next verse!With image
