9 And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast *about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

10 Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in *insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

7 For God has not given us a spirit of *timidity, but of power and love and *discipline.

13 I can do all things *through Him who strengthens me.

29 He gives strength to the weary,

And to the one who lacks might He increases power.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,

But God is the *strength of my heart and my portion forever.

3 Vindicate the weak and fatherless;

Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

7 having cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares about you.

28 "Come to Me, all *who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

26 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;

15 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.

41 Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is *willing, but the flesh is weak."

22 A joyful heart *is good medicine,

But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

8 Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak,

For the *rights of all the *unfortunate.
