| 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. | Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. |
| I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. | I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. |
| Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. | Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. |

| 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. | For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. |
| A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. | A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. |
| Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. | Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak, For the rights of all the unfortunate. |
| Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. | Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. |
| Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. | Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me. |
