Fraqueza
A fraqueza humana não é fraqueza diante de Deus. Pelo contrário, é na nossa fragilidade que o poder de Cristo se aperfeiçoa. Deus escolhe os fracos para confundir os fortes.
Poder na fraqueza
A minha graça te basta, pois o meu poder se aperfeiçoa na fraqueza. Quando sou fraco, então é que sou forte.
9 And he said to me, My grace sufficeth thee; for my power in weakness is perfected. Gladly therefore will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Meshiha may overshadow me.
10 For this cause I am willing in infirmities, in reviling, in affliction, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of the Meshiha; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
7 For Aloha hath not given to us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of discipline.
13 for every thing I am empowered through the Meshiha who strengtheneth me.
Deus cuida dos fracos
O Senhor está perto dos que têm o coração quebrantado. Ele dá poder aos fracos e renova a força dos cansados.
7 And all your anxiety cast upon Aloha, because he is careful over you.
28 Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.
Compaixão e intercessão
O Espírito intercede por nós com gemidos inexprimíveis. Jesus compreende nossas fraquezas porque foi tentado como nós.
26 So also the Spirit helpeth our infirmity: for what to pray for as we ought we know not; but the Spirit himself prayeth on our behalf in groanings unspoken.
15 For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin.
41 Be watchful and pray, that you enter not into temptation. The spirit is ready, but the body is infirm.
