'Reliance' in the Bible

For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.

To this end, like an earnest wrestler, I exert all my strength in reliance upon the power of Him who is mightily at work within me.
