We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.

I’m glad when I am weak but you are strong. I pray that there will be no more problems among you.

For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. Your restoration is what we pray for.

We are glad to seem weak if it helps show that you are actually strong. We pray that you will become mature.

We rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray that you become fully mature.

For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak, but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you become mature.

For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

In fact, we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray that you become fully mature.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish,[ even] your perfection.

For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.He has said to me,“ My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let’s press on to perfection— not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,

We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
