I am poured out like water,And all my bones are out of joint;My heart is like wax;It is melted within me.

My heart was hot within me,While I was musing the fire burned;Then I spoke with my tongue:

Why are you in despair, O my soul?And why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,The help of my countenance and my God.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvationAnd sustain me with a willing spirit.

My heart is in anguish within me,And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,Your consolations delight my soul.

A Psalm of David.Bless the Lord, O my soul,And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

For I am afflicted and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.

Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;Like a weaned child rests against his mother,My soul is like a weaned child within me.

And see if there be any hurtful way in me,And lead me in the everlasting way.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,You knew my path.In the way where I walkThey have hidden a trap for me.

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;My heart is appalled within me.

So I was left alone and saw this great vision; yet no strength was left in me, for my natural color turned to a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength.

Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ‘And He was numbered with transgressors’; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment.”

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;

that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

And he said, “Hear me, brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’

But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.

So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,

As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
