⁵ And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

²⁴ Straight away the father of the child gave a cry, saying, I have faith; make my feeble faith stronger.

² Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

³⁰ And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.

⁸ And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

¹⁰ So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

²² And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

²³ Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God.
