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

Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

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.

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.

Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

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

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

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 shall deliver me from the body of this death?

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

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

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
