They that

But if we hope for what we cannot see, then we [must] patiently wait for it [to be received].

And [they tell how you are] waiting for His Son [to come] from heaven, the One He raised up from the dead --- this Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath [of God].

Renew

For we want you to know, brothers, about the trouble that we experienced in Asia. [See I Cor. 16:19]. We were under a heavy burden [which was] more than we could stand, even to the point of despairing of life.

We are afflicted in every way, but are not crushed; [we are] perplexed, but not to the point of despair;

But God said to me, "My unearned favor is enough for you, for my power is made complete in [your] weakness." Therefore, I will most gladly boast, so that the power of Christ can rest on me.

Mount

And the first being was like a lion, the second one was like a calf, the third one had the face of a man and the fourth one was like a flying eagle.

Not faint

Then Jesus told His disciples a parable for the purpose of showing them that they should pray continually and not become discouraged.

So, having obtained this ministry through [God's] mercy, we do not become discouraged.

And we should not become tired of doing good things, for eventually we will receive [never ending life] if we do not give up.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a large crowd of spectators [Note: Christians are pictured here as being in a crowded arena, performing in the games], we should lay aside every [excessive] weight and sin that so easily entangle us, and with perseverance, we should run the race [of life] that lies before us.

And you have persevered and endured [suffering] for my name's sake [i.e., in my service] and [yet] have not grown weary.
