Troubled

For we wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of our pressure having been to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly loaded, above strength, so that we were in utter perplexity even to live:

But in every thing recommending ourselves as servants of God, in much patience, in pressures, in necessities, in extremities,

For also, we having come to Macedonia, our flesh had no relaxation, but pressed in everything; without conflicts, within fears.

Are they Christ's servants? (I speak being light-headed) I above; in toils more abundant, in blows more excessively, in watchings more abundantly, in deaths often.

Yet

Wherefore we lose not courage; but if also our man without is destroyed, but he within is renewed day and day.

Therefore am I contented in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities in expulsions, in extremities for Christ: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

And Samuel will say to Saul, Why didst thou disturb me to bring me up?

In the fear of Jehovah the trust of strength, and to his sons a refuge.

The name of Jehovah a tower of strength: into it the just one shall run and be exalted.

And not only, but also we boast in affliction: knowing that affliction works perseverance;

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? pressure, or perplexity, or expulsion, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Deem all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various trials;

By which ye are transported with joy, now for a little, (if it is necessary,) having grieved in various temptations:

Dearly beloved, be not astonished at the refining of fire in you, being for trial to you, as a strange thing happening to you:

Not in despair

And Saul will say to him lifting up his arms, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised shall come and thrust me through and mock upon me. And he lifting up his arms would not, for he will fear greatly; and Saul will take the sword and will fall upon it

Jehovah will not leave him in his Land, and he will not condemn him in his being judged.

I will not leave you orphans; I come to you.

No temptation except human has taken you and God faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but with the temptation will he also make an escape, that ye may be able to bear.
