Though, man, to trouble, were born, as, sparks, on high, do soar,

Man that is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble:

Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.

How happy the man whom thou correctest, O Yah! And whom, out of thy law, thou instructest!

For, whom Yahweh loveth, he correcteth, he causeth pain to the son in whom he delighteth.

Surely he hath not afflicted from his heart, nor caused sorrow to the sons of men.

Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? - According as it is written - For thy sake, are we being put to death all the day long, we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter. - read more. Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquering through him that hath loved us. For I am persuaded that - neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Wherefore we faint not, but, even if, our outer man, is decaying, nevertheless, our inner man , is renewing day by day. For, the momentary lightness of thee tribulation, in a manner yet more and more excelling, is working out for us, an age-abiding weight of glory, - read more. So long as we are not looking out for the visible things, but for the invisible; for, the visible things, are temporary, whereas, the invisible, are age-abiding.

Wherefore, lest I should be unduly lifted up, there was given to me a thorn o in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might buffet me, - lest I should be unduly lifted up. In this behalf, thrice, besought I, the Lord, that it might depart from me; read more. And at once he said unto me - Sufficient for thee, is my favour, for, my power, in weakness, is made complete. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may spread a tent over me. Wherefore, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, and straits, in behalf of Christ; for, as soon as I am weak, then, am powerful.

All Joy, account it, my brethren, whensoever ye fall in with, manifold, temptations, - Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance;

Happy the man who endureth temptation! Because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life - which he hath promised unto them that love him.
