- Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
- And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
- My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever. - He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
- Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
- I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
- Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
- For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
- For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
- A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones. - Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all
such as are appointed to destruction. - Defend the poor and fatherless:
do justice to the afflicted and needy. - Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Order my steps in thy word:
and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
