⁷ The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

³⁶ For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

⁴ I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

²⁴ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

¹² For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

⁸ For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

⁹ But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

¹⁰ Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

⁶ For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

³ In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
