Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.

And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.Say to them[ that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come[ with] vengeance,[ even] God[ with] a recompence; he will come and save you.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer,[ even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.[ It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with[ him], we shall also live with[ him]:If we suffer, we shall also reign with[ him]: if we deny[ him], he also will deny us:If we believe not,[ yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

Whosoever[ he be] that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
