We were comforted not only when he came but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us how much you longed for me. He told us about your deep sadness and concern for me. That made my joy greater than ever.

His presence was a joy, but so was the news he brought of the encouragement he received from you. When he told us how much you long to see me, and how sorry you are for what happened, and how loyal you are to me, I was filled with joy!

and not only by his arrival but also by the comfort he received from you. He told us about your deep longing, your sorrow, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

For this reason also I wrote you: to test you to see if you are obedient in everything.

Have mercy on me, for I am in distress! My eyes grow dim from suffering. I have lost my strength.For my life nears its end in pain; my years draw to a close as I groan. My strength fails me because of my sin, and my bones become brittle.Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering– those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not to make you sad, but to let you know the love that I have especially for you.

Dear friends, although I have been eager to write to you about our common salvation, I now feel compelled instead to write to encourage you to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.

For sadness as intended by God produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret, but worldly sadness brings about death.For see what this very thing, this sadness as God intended, has produced in you: what eagerness, what defense of yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what deep concern, what punishment! In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said:“ Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

“ Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you; reprove a wise person and he will love you.Give instruction to a wise person, and he will become wiser still; teach a righteous person and he will add to his learning.

But thanks be to God who put in the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you,

And in his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.]

For now we are alive again, if you stand firm in the Lord.

When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,

Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter into mourning and your joy into despair.Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

When the LORD’s messenger finished speaking these words to all the Israelites, the people wept loudly.They named that place Bokim and offered sacrifices to the LORD there.

that is, that we may be mutually comforted by one another’s faith, both yours and mine.

My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die.

For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one’s life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning.

Yes, I confess my wrongdoing, and I am concerned about my sins.

Those who shed tears as they plant will shout for joy when they reap the harvest.The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain.

But now Timothy has come to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection and long to see us just as we also long to see you!

Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and there was no rain on the land for three years and six months!

LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger! Do not discipline me in your raging fury!Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am frail! Heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking!I am absolutely terrified, and you, LORD– how long will this continue?Relent, LORD, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks?I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me.

I have indeed heard the people of Israel say mournfully,‘ We were like a calf untrained to the yoke. You disciplined us and we learned from it. Let us come back to you and we will do so, for you are the LORD our God.For after we turned away from you we repented. After we came to our senses we beat our breasts in sorrow. We are ashamed and humiliated because of the disgraceful things we did previously.’Indeed, the people of Israel are my dear children. They are the children I take delight in. For even though I must often rebuke them, I still remember them with fondness. So I am deeply moved with pity for them and will surely have compassion on them. I, the LORD, affirm it!

Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your morale and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
