We then who are strong ought to bear with the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Of such a one I will exult; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

And so that I should not be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I should not be made haughty.

And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather exult in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell upon me.

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also encompassed by weakness.

But Jesus answered and said, You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with? They said to Him, We are able.

Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Give us day by day our bread sufficient for the day.

And He said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

and he will answer from within and say, Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you.

So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

If a son asks for bread from any father among you, he will not give him a stone, will he? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a serpent instead of a fish, will he?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your lusts.

For you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father.

Jehovah, You have heard the desire of the lowly; You will prepare their heart, You will cause Your ear to hear,

And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and supplication. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the firstborn.

for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, Abba, Father!

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?

My soul also is exceedingly anxious; but You, O Jehovah, how long?

Jehovah has heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Maschil. For the sons of Korah.] i0 par As the deer pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after You, O God.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day, Where is your God?

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and murmur within me? Hope in God; for I shall praise Him for the deliverance coming from His presence.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Neginoth. Maschil. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not Yourself from my supplication.

Give attention to me, and hear me; I am restless in my meditation, and murmur;

I am weary from my crying; my throat is dried; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.] i0 par I cried out unto God with my voice; unto God with my voice; and He gave ear unto me.

I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit fainted. Selah

i1 [A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician. Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.] i0 par O Jehovah the God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You.

For my soul is full of evil, and my life draws near to Sheol.

Because of the sound of my groaning my bones cling to my skin.

to hear the groaning of the prisoner, to set free the children of death,

KAPH: My soul is spent for Your salvation; I hope in Your Word.

My eyes fail for Your Word, saying, When will You comfort me?

Therefore my spirit is faint within me; my heart within me is desolate.

I have spread my hands toward You; my soul is like a weary land. Selah

And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. And His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our dwelling place out of Heaven,

For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

Concerning this thing I entreated the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
