¹² Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

⁷ O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

¹⁶ Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.

¹² When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

⁹ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

² Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

⁸ For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
