| Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong. | 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. |
| But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. | 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 may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. | My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. |
| He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. | He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. |
| Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. | Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. |
| Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. | Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. |
| Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. | 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 him who strengthens me. | I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. |
| Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. | Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. |
| For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline. | For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. |
| For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. | 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 cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. | A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. |
| Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. | Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. |
| Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. | Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. |
| Deep calls to deep at the thunder of your cataracts; all your waves and your billows have gone over me. | Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. |
